Debbie from Brisbane kindly postprocessed my original image in Photoshop. Wow! Thanks Debbie! I'm sold on PP. Now all I have to do is learn to do it myself!
At the end of April in Milton, MA thirty nine local volunteers got busy at Blue Hills Trailside Museum. They planted trees, cleared trash, debris, and invasive species, cleared gardens, and painted bird nest boxes and benches for visitors. Volunteers enjoyed free admission to the museum, trail system, a special event being held that day, and had the chance to meet some of the in-house raptors!

Sailors from Tunisia and the guided-missile destroyer USS Arleigh Burke (DDG 51) simulate clearing a ship during a training exercise on April 25. The Tunisian navy operates with a level of professionalism that equals its European partners, and most of its officers supplement their training with developmental opportunities with navies and industry partners around the world.

Fowler were the leading manufacturer of steam ploughing equipment from the 1870’s right through to the end of steam in agriculture. They were the largest and most powerful traction engines in common use and were exported round the world. They were even built in Germany to a similar design by several manufacturers.
In use there would be two engines, one either side of the field. The wire rope on the drum under one engine was wound out and attached to a double ended plough. The other engines rope was attached to the other end of the plough. The plough could then be pulled across the field by each engine in turn, both engines moving forward as the ploughing progressed. This method prevented the heavy engines from compacting the soil as they would with direct action ploughing.
Other implements could be used instead of the plough, to harrow or land drain fields for example. One particular job which is still the reserve of the steam plough engine is dredging lakes and rivers, the great length of wire rope used in steam ploughing being ideal for this job.
After working alongside Rifle, Teflon, and TSgt Garcia for several months it was a unique pleasure to see them work together. After their Friday evening performance in Tullahoma, all five team members gathered for a moment near the 'Hog before heading to the crowd line together.
Later TSgt Garcia remarked to me "that was the first time I remember us all going to the fence together - a really neat moment." The A-10 West guys are just great, and it was our honor to host them in my hometown for four incredible days.
