We have had three days of rain because of a cold front and I was not able to get out and photograph. I'm digging back through some very old photographs looking for a gems.

After the hurricane ... again only one. I had at least two couples who lived out back in God's garden and I believe were breeding here. Now only one. Can you see the dirt on his beak? They scruffle around under the trees, scratching in the dirt and digging for and feeding on bugs. Oh how I hope they come back ...

A grizzly bear is hard at work digging for clams early in the morning at low tide in the Khutzeymateen estuary. Notice how you can see the long fingers/claws digging into the sand. In the springtime the grizzlies supplement their sedge grass diet with clams and other intertidal species that they scavenge along the beaches at low tide.

During a lull in a period of heavy rain, Galatea, in its new identity as Alberta, gets to grips with the long climb to Aisgill as it passes Stockber with the southbound Waverley of 23rd August 2020.
The LS&I is usually a very efficient railroad and trains move quick. I saw the storm approaching and figured there could be a neat shot, but I wouldn't be able to see them coming from my truck. Hiding under a tree the rain kept intensifying until it was a strong down pour. They were crawling trying to make the hill and it seemed like an eternity before they rolled around the corner into Queens. Soaked to the bone.
This Honey Bee, like one of many visits our garden several times a day to collect that much sought after gold to make into honey. The beauty of nature just amazes me !!
This image captures a Spotted Towhee digging through show looking for a morsel to snack on. I captured it in my yard in Lassen County, California, USA.
This is the first time I have seen a Spotted Sandpiper dig so deeply for food.

This wild beautiful coastal brown bear focused on her objective of digging clams while the tide was out - only a few times did she raise her head to inquire on her surroundings. She was very successful in her pursuit of finding clams beneath the tidal surface.
I took this sunset at St Ives in 2007 and tbh i did little at all in the way of new post work but i did upsize it in a minute or so. i have two upsizers and in this instance I used Gigapixel.. Jonathan was reading on Drs.Net ( they even have a photography forum on the site ) how easy it was to remove copyright symbols too now. AI is becoming a monster but I do find the upsizer useful for my old shots..Sue :)
Set of thee oldies again and comments are still off. We were supposed to be on holiday this fine weather week but things have not gone to plan...nothing new there and its not health related i'm thankful to add. !
Working on shooting action and storytelling though I don't love the digging and muddy paws, I do like the flying gravel.
What turned out to be my personal favorite from my run up the Santa Barbara Subdivision following the LOF66/67 (Guadalupe Hauler). Was Union Pacific 2717 hitting the straight track in the middle of the siding at Devon at the Associated Road grade crossing. The train hit a PTC wall at Narlon (unknown switch position) which played to my advantage since I had begun to head to Surf but turned around due to dense fog. After the crew got PTC functioning again the train was back to working toward the top of the Casmalia Hills.The train is showing off a fairly good profile of what's heading into the Santa Maria Valley from empty reefers to a load of John Deere equipment.
Looking for something more uplifting in our lockdown (and some other bird absent from my photostream) I have found several shots from an afternoon session with the Australian Pied Oystercatchers (Haematopus longirostris). Those were the days ;-)
