Just digging through my hard drive and found this photo of a deer in Mendon Ponds last May. The wind was in my face, so it could it kept getting closer to me trying to get my scent. Finally, it decided enough was enough, and took off.

An excavator entered the site from Munday HIll Quarry. It then commenced work in the undergrowth beyound where the pond was in the winter months. Later it was digging a shallow trench.
Bear # 1 again. It was low tide and he had been digging for clams on the beach. Behind the bear is sedge grass which is the bears most common food in Spring.
You can see the fresh ground I have been scraping and digging in, located on a slight slope of the hill depicted in the other pics of the sagenite site at Tapado, in Chihuahua, Mexico, a few miles to the southeast of San Carlos Canyon. I collected about thirty pounds from this spot, including an amethyst geode I gave to Jim, before quitting and moving across the arroyo to check out the spot where my helper and guides were digging other agates. It is a little treacherous, due to the cactus plants mixed in with surrounding vegetation and a few scorpions we sometimes dig up with the rocks.
Ned planted a conker in my mums garden a while ago but now it needs to be transferred to a more open space, as it was to near to the house.
here are the pictures of its replanting
A sequence of the amazing solifug digging behaviour:
1- Turning a rock 5 times bigger and 20 times heavier;
2- For one the most powerful chelicerae in the animal kingdom biting a sandy rock is like having a muffin for breakfast;
3- The bitten rock is them passed under the body and pushed away through the back legs;
4- Shooing in more rock;
5- and shooing and using the suctorial ability of the palps to grab "small" rocks;
6- And them using the chelicerae as a shovel and pushing the rocky remains out;
Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.
First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]
(This is Samuel, and he worked so hard for such a little guy! The sunglasses that were being passed around just didn't fit him!)
We were shoveling our way out of the snow when this lady driving by in a tractor stopped to help dig us out for a minute. We didn't exchange words or anything. Thank you random lady for making our day easier!
Raina and I take a moment to be cheesy after a morning of digging out the foundation. About halfway done! (thanks to Tessa and Jojo)
Heather took some great pictures of James during a BBQ on Sunday. I thought I'd try out some "reverse orton" photoshopping and while I was playing around with a texture layer, I accidentally came across this tint.
I'll try to come up with a couple more variations...
this place is a big place where digging for moclay is made for commercial purpose and the moclay is being used for cat-strey and for tiles inside the fireplace...
We are allowed to walk there and look for fossils and when we were there nobody were working...but trucks use to drive in and out on working days....
