I know I’ve posted about this before, but we own a structural engineering firm. We get to work on a lot of different types of structures: large office buildings, small office buildings, medium office buildings, retail spaces, multi-level parking structures, new custom homes, structural changes for tenants moving into spaces, remodels on any type of building. I get to travel around and take pictures of our job sites, and it is a blast. Recently, we helped one of our nephews and his family on the design of their new home. Their ground-breaking was on Tuesday. I went out to get pictures. Their digger was too late for me to be able to stay and get photos of the actual dig, but I did get some really cute pictures of them and their golden shovel.
IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR MORE) FEATURING WORK OF ANY KIND.
Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.
Here’s how it works:
- Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
- To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
- Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
- Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.

But this is perfect for the week after play! 🙂
They had to break snow before they could break ground. I didn’t know that they used golden shovels for that.
The golden shovel was for the photos. They used an excavator for the actual digging. 😊
Nancy …what a lovely gallery. I wish you all a pleasant weekend.
Thank you. I hope your weekend is going well, too.

Is that a tradition to get a golden shovel when starting a new home from scratch.. 😉
I don’t know. My nephew builds luxury custom homes (his degree is in construction management), so I’m sure he’s seen this a few times on big homes. Their home will be a cute, modest house.
Hi Nancy,
What a wonderfully fun topic. I adore your photos as always.
