Three intrepid fisherman out on the ice and sifting through the muck to find wigglers (mayfly nymphs) used for fishing bait.
It was the most beautiful summer evening, near midnight, sun was setting soon. Suddenly the girls wanted to go fishing to the lake. First they had to find some worms. . .

Ah, summer is really here. We went to the beach down in Santa Cruz at Natural Bridges, and it was chilly and windy but it really feels like summer now.
Tormod and his nephew Uilleam had gone to the meadow to dig the mid-season potatoes. It wasn’t the best crop they had grown, but young Uilleam seemed to be enjoying the opportunity to be playing in the fresh dirt.

This guy may be a musician too, but was thoroughly enjoying the music when I spotted him. As you can see, he also has a fantastic beard
Over and over the same job. Even today while planting tomatoes in our backyard, watching the gusto with which my father attacks a patch of dirt with a shovel is a sight to see.
Submitted to Monthly Scavenger Hunt - March 2009 ("shovel")
Found this shovel today among my daughter's toys and could not resist to abuse Barbie again for this shot...
The archaeologist is digging at the level of the original medieval wall in the chancel. The Victorians used this as the foundation for their rebuild in the 1870's.
Much digging going on by the level crossing near Shoreham Station. Quite a delay from since I'd noticed the marking on road which indicated what was going to happen.

"Digging For Victory". Probably taken somewhere near Minster Lovell, Oxfordshire c1940 (the spires in the background are certainly the city of Oxford -- I think that that's Tom Tower at Christchurch College just right of centre).
The area where the man is digging was given over to be used as garden allotments so that local people could grow their own vegetables during the deprivations of WWII
Two and a half beds dug and all roots carefully removed. Each bed yielded in excess of two wheel barrow loads of roots.
Halloween conjures up visions of witches, goblins, vampires, bats and ghoul. Many places on the Second Life grid are featuring pumpkin patches, scarey haunted houses and ghoulish images.
But the real horror is our own nightmares. We found a place called The Funhouse. Insane & totally demented! Digging deep into our psyche, this builder has created a horror so compete that it may drive you mad. (We went three times... plan to spend at least 2 hours).
A bit of a respite after this torture, I hit Club Industry. Goth, industrial, noize, psypop, trance and more are featured at this club 24/7. DJ DaemonChadeau spins there, too. So appropriate for the Halloween spirits!
Also, BassLine Junkiez is having a big Halloween party on Oct 31st. Liqwid, Doubledown, Vacano, Rentmaster and others are the featured DJ's. I'm sure Xavier & I will hit that one.
Spent the day chiselling chunks of wayward concrete from beneath the fence, chopping up the cement base exposed when the flags were lifted, gathering up the gravel from the troughs either side of the garden and digging soil that backs up against the breeze block pen.
It's donkey work, but it will open things up. The garden is shaping up nicely.
