A bee at work on a thistle; must be a risky job.

Work continues this year on the University Link light rail tunnels. This photo shows the gantry cars lined up and connected to the tunnel boring machine that is being re-assembled to dig the northbound tunnel between Capitol Hill and downtown Seattle. The gantry cars carry several items including the electrical transformer for the TBM, grout tanks and pumps and utility piping. U-Link tunneling will be completed in 2012 with passenger service expected in 2016.

Harvesting cockles at the shores of Bayan Mutiara Penang. They get their cockles fresh from the muddy beach, preparing for the lunch feast.

 

I always worry for contamination in the cockles, cases of lead and mercury(heavy metal) poisoning are very rare - but something to be alert of. Twenty years ago, this was in the middle of the sea. This shore is part of a reclaimed land that become Bayan Mutiara.

Mrs WJ's video of the digging sand wasp. She sounds like a high pitched hammer drill (the more continuous droning are Green Eyed Flower Bees, the low frequency sound is the lens stabiliser)

VERY TOXIC

 

mayapple is poisonous except for the fruit (lemon taste), which is generally eaten by animals; low hanging fruit, for real! Flowers in may, fruits in summer.

 

The poison (concentrated in the tubers ~4%) acts as a laxative, wart (topically), and cancer/tumor treatment (precursor to a few western cancer treatment drugs).

 

My best guess for starting dosage is ~600mg. If I test this I would start even lower. Do not eat this!

Do not get killed being stupid! VERY TOXIC!

A 29 hour closure of platform 1 at Dundee was required to carry out some essential maintenance/strengthening work to equipment rooms under the track. Taken with permission of those carrying out the work, a rather large hole has taken the place of the Up Through Line!

I was digging through old pics and found this one.. Decided to touch it up a bit and post it.

 

Taken on the Toronto Center Island at dusk. Same night as THIS SHOT.

I haven't posted one of these in a while. They brighten my day, hopefully yours too, as we head into what looks like a magnificent weekend here.

 

This is a Ruby-throated Hummingbird who really is needing to dig deep into this salvia to get at the nectar.

 

Oh, yes, glad you asked, it does look much better on black (hit "L").

No bobcats here, these guys dug this trench by hand in one day. It's for electrical from the main office to the new building on campus. Of course it stayed like this all night with no safety barriers until they filled it in the next day.

The city is building a new park here and this digger is clearing the way.
