This driver did a great job hauling this mining truck through this city of Red Deer, Alberta. The pilot truck on the left of the image guided traffic to allow the driver to negotiate this left hand 90° turn.
First red TIE Interceptor, now yellow TIE Fighter!
I am usually not too fond of "yet another TIE variant" but how could I resist a yellow one? Such a beautiful color to go with black and grey! This just screams "utalitarian design" and so fits the mining guild theme perfectly!
It is a relatively simple build, but it already contains some fixes I intend for the v2.0 TF, most notably better shape of the solar panel. Change is minimal but noticeable enough! And I am very slightly... quite proud of the stripe solution ^^
North Shore Mining heads west with ore empties behind 133-116. Spring barely has a foothold here so the breezes at "my meadow" were quite bracing, but the sun was warm. The "maple bacon bourbon burger" at The Northland restaurant in Silver Bay was a satisfying way to counter the coolness. Tonight could bring some ice storms.
Tawny mining bee (Andrena fulva) showing well in my garden. The females are particularly eye-catching with their foxy red hair and black undersides. These mining bees will nest in the lawn and patches of bare ground!
This is up a bit north of Golden on the Peak to Peak road in late fall - I've found it fascinating n I bet just up the hill is more of it but the area has a keep out sign - sooo - besides after year's of being stagnate tree's have sprouted up.
Another record shot of a bee from yesterday. This one landed beside some holes in the soil of the footpath running along the River Ayr at Failford.
Any help with ID much appreciated...the bee in this shot, and those in the next two uploads were all in the same spot.
Many thanks to Rory Dimond for the ID of Lasioglossum species for this one---I'm fairly sure the other two I found in the same area are different.
PLEASE DO NOT FAVE WITHOUT LEAVING A COMMENT. THANK YOU.
IF YOU DO, MY PHOTOS WILL BE REMOVED FROM YOUR FAVES AND/OR YOU WILL BE BLOCKED
Latin Name: Andrena haemorrhoa - Early Mining Bee
This is a widespread and common species in Britain. Their habitat is around potential nesting sites such as gardens, playgrounds, sports fields, paths and the sides of roads and are commonly seen March to June. Females are often seen nesting alone, but groups of females do occur, even though these groups are never very big. Length 8 to 11 mm. The thorax is foxy brown on top; the abdomen is black, except for the rear end, which is foxy brown again. The male is much smaller than the female and its hairs are much lighter colour, tending to grey or even white.

Abundancia, a small arid planet, and the richest colony of the G.M.F. in terms of ores.
The Locusts can collect the crystals directly from the ground, then the miners can fill the Mammoths with this shiny loot.
We went out looking for the deserted Gascoigne Wood mining plant. Hoping to find dilapidated buildings, we found nothing but security cameras and dead ends. But we did encounter a very pleasant sunset.
If anyone knows of any abandoned buildings in the north of England (that can be accessed easily) let me know.

Bottom's Up! This reed bee (Exoneura sp.) was tucking into our Native Geraniums to get at the food stuff within. Happy Beautiful Bug Butt Thursday everyone!
The town of Gold Hill, NC was once known for being in the middle of Carolina gold territory. Today it still is known for gold and other mining operations, and hosts NS P92 every week day to serve the mine along with other industries.
Thanks to the flatbed truck's driver for allowing me to gain some height for this photograph!
A wall mural in the old part of Ipoh, Malaysia showing tin mining activities in the Kinta Valley with a background of the famous karst or limestone hills. A mining dredge can be seen amongst other mining methods. This is one of seven wall murals in Ipoh painted by the Lithuanian street artist Ernest Zacharevic who became famous in Malaysia after his many works in the UNESCO World Heritage city of Georgetown, Penang.
Perth is a mining town. Mining is a major source of revenue for Western Australia and hence the state is relatively wealthy and has the highest median household income of any Australian capital city. The picture shows the precinct at the ground floor for one of the major mining companies. This is repeated throughout the city with some lovely grounds
The morning tailings train makes a run back to Silver Bay after dumping in the early morning. Being able to fit the entire train makes a wide view enjoyable.
Three Northshore Mining SD70ACes lead an ore train from Babbit around the mountainous coast of Lake Superior on a perfect winter afternoon. The railroad's future is up in the air, and may cease operations yet this year, so I figured I'd make the trek north to photograph the line before it falls.

Loads of bee activity in our Stafforshire garden today, with dozens of these male Andrena mining-bee emerging and swarming about. I think it's Andrena nigroaenea; the Buffish Mining-bee.
Erie Mining 104 with the Taconite Trail stopped on the Manitou River Bridge on an early inspection trip of the mainline. Probably sometime in 1957.

I'm not sure which species of mining bee this is so any help with ID would be appreciated. I did wonder if it was Andrena flavipes (Yellow-legged Mining Bee).
