Photographed the Carlin's Mining Bee gathering pollen off the Japanese Spiraea flowers in the front yard flower garden located in Timmins in the Township of Mountjoy in the City of Timmins in Northeastern Ontario Canada.
Spiraea japonica is one of several Spiraea shrubs with alternate,simple leaves, on wiry, freely branching, erect stems. The stems are brown to reddish-brown, round in cross-section and sometimes hairy. The shrub reaches 1.2 m to almost 2 m in
height and about the same in width. The deciduous leaves are
generally an ovate shape about 2.5 cm to 7.5 cm long, have
toothed margins, and alternate along the stem. Clusters of rosypink flowers are found at the tips of the branches. The seeds
measure about 2.5 mm in length and are found in small lustrous
capsules.

Goldfield, Colorado
View of the Little Theresa Mine from the interpretive loop trail. which was operated from 1895 to as late as 1961 by several companies, including the Theresa Gold Mining Company, the Vindicator Consolidated, the United Gold Mines Company, and the Golden Cycle Mining Company. The entire surface plant was destroyed by fire in 1934, and the metal frame shown here rebuilt in 1938.
Literally a small mining tank with laser capable to cut chunks of rock. Usually it's controlled by driver/operator sitting inside armored cabin, but it can function unmanned (just let's pretend that "WALL" is a good name for a company, ok?).
Another build inspired by Hibernia and mining equipment, idea for a tracked mining vehicle with laser gun on it came from this MOC by Cap . I have a feeling that this machine does not fit into the criteria of the models typical for Febrovery, but I really like to construct more purposefully-built wheeled and tracked vehicles than usual rovers. And gosh, making these tracks in Studio is really annoying.....
Copper mining infrastructure, part of Phelps Dodge Corporation copper mining operation in Bisbee, AZ. Mining operations stopped in 1974. I believe these towers were used for some type of post-processing of the recovered slurry.
A newly-emerged female Buffish Mining Bee (Andrena nigroaenea) in our Staffordshire garden.
There's been lots of solitary bee activity recently, but a significant fall of snow last night will have slowed them down a bit!
I continue with a summer theme mostly as i am painstakingly going through my image files. Readying for my transition to mac OS. So fed up am i by windows. Along the way i find an image suitable for a re: edit prior going back to dropbox.
As i write i am told that the first of our many crocuses has reared its head. Also from m my desk i saw a blue tit flying from out of our nest box. Exciting.
This image was shot i May 23
One of my attempts at the "Macro Mondays" theme "Egg".
Shot with a Canon "E 50mm F 3.5" (enlarging) lens on a Canon EOS R5.
(141/365) A female Andrena haemorrhoa "Early Mining bee" about to enter her nest burrow in my garden. We have lots of these solitary bees as well as Red Mason bees, Ashy (Grey) Mining bees & Chocolate Mining bees all with associated Nomad "Cuckoo" bees that lay their eggs in the hosts nests HBBBT!
The scars of an old mining prospect are visible at the mouth of Cottonwood Canyon in The Bighorn Mountains, The prospect was in the Permian Phosphoria Formation but I don't know for what they were looking.
And more from the garden during the lockdown period. We are lucky to have a small garden which we enjoy tremendously at the moment. While looking for more motifs for new photos I noticed a few bees flying low over the grass and they turned out to be mining bees looking for a spot to dig a hole in the ground. Those solitary bees will then lay one single egg and add pollen for the larvae. Not easy to photograph as they were obviously not standing still for my camera ;-)
Quite happy to see that my standard walk-around tamron lens is good enough to image the little single eyes the bees have in the middle of their head!

Colletes hederae in Somerset. The colony I discovered last year, the first I'm aware of on my home patch, is active again this year with dozens of bees already. There aren't many burrows yet, probably a combination of being early in their season, plus the recent weather has been very wet. In today's sunshine, most of the females seemed to be spending their time looking for the perfect spot to start digging but a few are ahead of the game.
One of several ancient trucks once used in mining resting in Goldpoint, Nevada.
Happy Truck Thursday!

A Nice Early Departure On The L546 (Squamish Turn) Yielded A Nice Daylight View Here At Britannia Beach With The Mine Museum Looming Overhead. CN 8302 A EMD SD75IACC And CN 3398 A GE AC44C6M Roll Under Beautiful Low Hanging Clouds.
At Glendalough, Co Wicklow there is an old abandoned mining village. This rusty piece of equipment survives and must be there for a couple of hundred years
One of the huge chambers inside Honister Slate mine, with the small wagon and tracks that were once used to remove the extracted slate from the mine. Piles of slate are still found in the chamber but are not of a quality good enough for roofing.
The German Mining Museum, founded in Bochum in 1930, is the largest mining museum in the world and, on the other hand, is a research institute for georesources and mining and mining archives. The museum has a demonstration mine with a rope simulator. The symbol of the museum, which can be seen from afar, the 71 m high winding tower can be climbed.
This is an impressive load for this Western Star highway tractor and trailer. The Western Star is set up with a Tridem axle system meaning is has three driving axles.
