Monarch butterfly populations have experience a dramatic decline in recent years. One of the issues is a decline in the amount of milkweed on the landscape, the only plant eaten by monarch caterpillars, making it fundamental to the future success of this species. In reaction to the decline, the Service is working with partners across the nation to plant more milkweed.
In western North Carolina, the Asheville Field Office has worked with Monarch Rescue, Toe River Valley Partnership, and several other partners, including many school, to plant pollinator gardens. Students at Yancey County’s Bee Log Elementary School recently came out to plant a pollinator garden behind their school.

When I got up this morning, I found a dead rabbit in the road. Here, I am burying it in my BACKYard.
I'm having a very busy day. More pictures later...
We have been busy all week digging holes for large blue spruce trees we are planting around the farm.
Perhaps another reaction to the news of Idaho's senior senator, who is not resigning and who has never met an interest group he didn't like unless it benefited wildlife, the environment, minorities or poor people...Photo by Frank

The Dinorwic quarry is a large former slate quarry, now home to the Welsh National Slate Museum, located between the villages of Llanberis and Dinorwig in North Wales. It was the second largest slate quarry in Wales, indeed in the world, after the neighbouring Penrhyn quarry near Bethesda.
It covered more than 700 acres (283 ha) consisting of two main quarry sections with 20 galleries in each and a number of ancillary workings. Extensive internal tramway systems connected the quarries using inclines to transport slate between galleries.
Fred photographed this series of photos (15 Nov 2011) of a Blue banded bee starting to dig a burrow. The bee allowed us to move around it and take photos using a flash. She seemed quite happy for us to be there.
Here she is keeping an eye on us and starting to dig in. She had used her head to push the gray sand rock (in bottom left corner) out of the way.

This bee appears to be a different species than those shown in a previous photo.
I saw this kid digging in the sand when we went to Vancouver to watch some random fireworks. He seemed to be making some irrigation canals. It's good to see the young taking an interest in agriculture.
Rochdale is currently undergoing central works. It has claimed to be home to the widest bridge in Europe after the industrial Roch was covered in the town centre in 1908.
Now work is afoot to allow the now clean river to be seen in the Town Centre (at The Butts).
This summer evening shot shows the Town Hall to advantage. The pretty colours in the foreground are, of course, not flowers but reinforcement bar markers. I knew you'd like it!
Once upon a time, these were standard operations in the field.
I'm an outsider so I was just watching, but the staff is different.
You don't get dirty, they don't get dirty, but they lose a lot of time.
Can we call it equality?

... is great fun. If you have found the first, you can't stop picking them up from the beach. And another and another and another and so on ... :-)
Am Strand nach Olivinen zu suchen, ist ein großer Spaß. Einmal angefangen, kann man nicht mehr aufhören. Und noch einen, und noch einen, und noch einen, und so weiter ... :-)
Pvt. Kristopher Orr, tank driver, Company C, 1st Battalion, 8th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, uses a pick mattock to dig a trench, Aug. 19. Orr helped build one of three log crib walls, or retaining walls, to help prevent sediment and debris from traveling down the stream during heavy rain and potentially clogging water channels in Manitou Springs.
