Nikon d3300 with 35mm 1.8g. I set out to get a long exposure of the sunset with the tide coming in around the rocks with my nd filter or a nice landscape with the recently beached sperm whale in the foreground but... this chap was digging for worms in the distance and I had to go and see what he was up to. It ended up as my favourite shot of the day and we had a nice chat! #dogwoodweek5 #dogwood52weekchallenge
Jippo: "This is useless. There are no treasures in an old flower pot!"
Bones: "We'll just pretend to be digging for a while and then we say we dug a hole all the way to China and found nothing."

This Blue Jay found the seed so he could put it into his mouth and grab another peanut before leaving. They are so interesting to watch.

Mellinus arvensis (the Field Digger Wasp) is a ground nester. The females dig burrows in the soil and provision brood chambers with flies. The wasps sting the flies to paralyse them, take them back to the nest burrow and lay an egg on them. The developing larvae then have fresh meat to eat.
We have around twenty active nests in our Staffordshire garden. I would really love to get a photograph of a wasp carrying a fly or dragging one into the nest. It all happens rather quickly. Anyway, I was waiting by some holes (as you do) when this female starting extending the burrow.
She would exit the nest backwards carrying pieces of soil between her mandibles and front legs. She would then drop the soil a few centimetres from the opening. Looked pretty hard work.
Quick snap of a digger working on one of the final parts of the once-massive brewery site at Fountainbridge - the brewery once covered several blocks on both side of the road, all long gone now and mostly redeveloped, this being one of the last blocks still being reworked.
The title is - as those of you with little ones may guess - a nod to the children's picture book Dig, Dig, Digging by Margaret Mayo and Alex Ayliffe, all about diggers and other big machines
I wonder if digging sand is one of basic human instincs.
On the beach, I was stunned by a good number of kids (both boys and girls) digging sand like crazy for hours. Then I remembered that I used to be the same.
After crossing Lummis Mill Road, the engineer running WW 576 will notch out the throttle. The solo GP10 sounded great digging into the slight grade with 33 empty sand hoppers in tow, and the added weight of WW 732 on the hind end.
For the past few months I have been fortunate to work with a talented and beautiful musician, Xerephine Musica, in making PR shots, fine art work and documenting the making of her latest video. She plays several instruments, writes her own songs and has a sweet, angelic voice. If you would like to hear her music see the links below to her Instagram and Facebook.

Thank you for keeping your comments respectful to my models and appropriate for safe groups.
This was my favorite of the plants I added to my very small yard a couple of weeks ago. I got out my Sigma 70 Macro and started taking pics when this first pod opened and it bloomed. I figured it would be a good way for me to get some good florals in a city that is not known for having an abundance of nature.
This was processed in Photoshop Elements rather than On1. I sometimes do this to see which software I prefer for a certain set of images so I can just go with that one. Here, I got some very similar results. On1 has become much faster in its latest upgrades and has a much greater set of native options so have mostly used that. Its major limitation is its rather poor noise reduction feature. So, I brought it into Elements for a trip into Nik Dfine. Not a big deal at all. In fact, I always bring my On1 results into Elements for finishing touches or more significant alterations with my various plug-ins.
We are officially into the late Fall and early Winter season when I see a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker (Sphyrapicus varius) making its rounds, checking on the holes it dug in a tree a day before, and making a few more holes for the next day.
This one happens to be a male, most easily identified by the red crown and especially the red throat. And as is common for these guys, they tend to be shy and like to stay in the shadows while going about their business. They are extremely quite ~ if they have a specific call I've never heard it ~ and they are even very quite when digging their sap holes. I normally discover one because I'm chasing down other small birds and happen upon a Sapsucker.

Although most non-birders believe that the Yellow-bellied Sapsucker is a fictitious bird created just for the humorous name, in fact it is a widespread species of small woodpecker. Its habit of making shallow holes in trees to get sap is exploited by other bird species, and the sapsucker can be considered a "keystone" species, one whose existence is vital for the maintenance of a community.
