In Vermont, early spring is called "Mud Season" mostly because there are so many dirt roads in Vermont, and at this time of year, they are almost impassible because they turn to pure, deep mud. Just before Christmas, we had 3 feet of snow, and then on Christmas day it rained, which caused the stream behind my house to flood. Now that the snow is gone, my backyard is filled with the left over silt from the flood, so it's all muddy too. But on the bright side, the weather has been warm and the dogs loved it (even if Pokey looks miserable in this photos - but that's mostly because he wasn't in the mood for picture-taking - he wanted to run around)
Irrigation season is over so the flow of water into the Bear River Canal has stopped for the year. As the water level dropped, the muddy bottom appeared, showing muddy ripples made by the moving water.
Intricate patterns in the dried mud of the Alvord playa. A fair amount of processing brought out an interesting warm/cool color contrast in the image.
Out of all the snakes I’ve found so far, I’ve probably put the most time into finding a mud snake. Last year I finally cruised up my lifer in Louisiana. Then within the next 24 hours I found 4 more. Hopefully I can see some more of these beautiful creatures this year.

Mud hole in the Icelandic geothermal area Námafjall.
The Námafjall is located in northeastern Iceland, east of Lake Mývatn.
In this area, also called Hverir, you will find numerous smoking fumaroles and boiling mud pots surrounded by sulfur crystals of many different colors. This sulfur gives the area a distinctive rotten-egg smell.
A small hiking trail surrounds the area and leads up to the Námaskarð pass and Mount Námafjall.

The eastern mud turtle is a small and often hard to identify species. It measures 3–4 in (7.6–10.2 cm) in carapace length. The carapace is keelless, lacks any pattern, and varies in color from yellowish to black. The plastron is large and double hinged, and can be yellowish to brown, and may sometimes have a dark pattern. The chin and throat are a yellowish grey, streaked and mottled with brown, while the limbs and tail are grayish. The eye, or iris, of the eastern mud turtle is yellow with dark clouding, and its feet are webbed.

These are beautiful mud tiles left over time, nature’s flooring handiwork creating patterns and shapes all over.
Sometimes standing up after a mud bath presents problems for little elephants. Keeping their feet under them on slippery ground is a learned art.
This is the Mud Lick Volunteer Fire Department building in the unincorporated community of Mud Lick, Kentucky. Its six apparatus bay doors made the building the largest in the community bar none. I did not see many houses around here. However, Mud Lick once had its own U.S. Post Office. This community was featured in an episode of the science-fiction television series X-Files for having a monster in its backwoods. The place looked pretty peaceful to me.
I later drove down Mud Lick Flippin Road, which connects Mud Lick to Flippin, Kentucky.

La longitud del pico de la aguja colinegra ( Limosa limosa) le permite llegar a profundidades en el fango inalcanzables para otras limícolas, aunque esto implique, en muchas ocasiones, manchar de fango toda la cabeza.

The length of the beak of the black-tailed godwit ( Limosa limosa) allows it to reach depths in the mud that are unattainable for other waders, although this often means staining its entire head with mud.
