Death Valley
Mud and salt, what remains of Lake Manly which once covered Death Valley to a depth of 30 feet (9.1 m)
The day the Olympic Torch came to Sunderland. Wettest summer ever. There is a path under there somewhere!
The patterns in the cracked earth looked very similar to the patterns on an old stump. So I decided to merge the two.

Just north of Mont St. Michel Abbey in France is another small island which at low tide you could walk to for fun. While I was there a large group of high school students were taking a guided walk. Very interesting and muddy. Looked like a lot of fun.

Warabi Hadaka Matsuri
Hadaka Matsuri (literally, naked festival) held every 25th of February at Mimusubi Shrine, Yotsukaido, Chiba. Young men in loincloths jostle one another in a muddy rice paddy from around 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
Access: JR Sobu Line to Yotsukaido Sta. (South Exit), and then walk 15 min.
This vertical comp was taken after the peak in sky color ... it was wanning at this time. Wanted to try and make the river mud look "good" there on the rocks. Luckily this was not the norm on the rocks exposed there along the river ... but these 'landmines' had to be watched for as we scrambled around on the rocks taking pictures.
Last weekend we visted the Lost Gardens of Heligan, the most popular botanical gardens in the UK. To be frank, I was a bit disappointed, maybe because most of the foliage and flowers were gone at that time of the year and because we have been to some extraordinary botanical gardens throughout the year and the Lost Gardens were a bit underwhelming in comparison. At least there were very few people there so we had all the time in the world to explore.
They keep a few farm animals on site and we spend some time seeing what the pigs were doing. The photo is of big momma, the real mud maid - for those of you who already were at the Lost Gardens - pun intended :-)
After a little research about pig breeds I think this one is a British Lop - so called because of its long ears. It's an old pig breed - currently rarer than the Giant Panda (from Wikipedia)...
Anytime a layer of clay silt is deposited by a rainstorm in a depression in the ground, when the clay dries it shrinks and forms the puzzle pattern mud cracks. Like everything else in the world, mud cracks are studied by geologists. If the mud cracks are subsequently covered by another layer of silt and preserved and then through geological changes hardened into rock, they give us a record of the long ago drying event. They use mud cracks to determine the orientation of the original sedimentary beds that formed the cracks. The edges of the mud cracks curl upward and point out which direction was up in the original bed.
Here in Ottawa ontario Canada, we are lucky to have such an amazing place. Its a wildlife conservation area in the middle of the city. Its my place to take great shots and recharge within nature.

Hadleigh Ray creek on Canvey Island.
"Canvey Island is a ... reclaimed island in the Thames estuary in Essex, England. It has an area of 18.44 km2 and a population of 38,170. It is separated from the mainland of south Essex by a network of creeks. Lying only just above sea level it is prone to flooding at exceptional tides, but has nevertheless been inhabited since the Roman invasion of Britain.
"The island was mainly agricultural land until the 20th century when it became the fastest growing seaside resort in Britain between 1911 and 1951. The North Sea flood of 1953 devastated the island, killing 58 islanders and leading to the temporary evacuation of the 13,000 residents. Canvey is consequently protected by modern sea defences comprising 3.2 km of concrete sea walls." Canvey Island (Wikipedia).

At exactly 5:59AM the dogs were being released
in The Mud Cobra Field. At exactly 6:59AM they
were being loaded-up so we can head 4 home.
As you can see here, it was a real quagmire.
Millions of Mr Murphy traps, some bigger
than others. But everyone of them was
a disaster just waiting to happen ;-0-
Getting all the way to the rest area was
a Rodeo Ride x 10 ! Twice I was knocked
out of the saddle, landing hard in the mud.
Today is Thursday August 22 2024.
So why is that so important you ask ?
Well yesterday, being Wednesday, is the
only day the dog clinic is closed. Safety
being high on the list for the dogs,
Wednesday is usually the day
we don't go 2 the m/c field.
Dogs were having "cabin fever" issues.
No rain this morning so we took a little
chance and did a little dance and here
we are, already talking about our wild
adventure splashing about in the Mud.
Getting out, I had to get off an on the
scooter, pushing while twisting the wick.
Once home it took longer to wash each dog !
They are all, Professional Mud Monsters ;-)-

Low tide at Wellington Point is muddy, messy and fabulous all at the same time. It makes for great photo opportunities whether its reflections, silhouettes and just the tiny little channels of water reflecting the sun like this. I count my blessings every single day that I live here in the Redlands where there are so many wonderful places to shoot.

I took this three years ago in Sidestep Canyon. We have a water leak in our yard, which is being repaired as I type this, so this photo is somewhat appropriate.
The towering mud-brick walls of Dimai (Dimeh es-Seba) date back as early as the 3rd century BC foundation of ancient Soknopaiou Nesos, sited on a plateau north of Lake Qarun. The massive walls of the central temenos, dedicated to the crocodile-headed goddess Soknopaios (another name for Sobek in the Hellenistic Faiyum), are constructed in segments with curved courses for stabilizing the unfired bricks.
he biked into this Mississippi River mud without realizing how deep it was. Shelby Forest boat ramp.

Two young elephants had a wonderful time rolling in the water and mud of the waterhole in Hwange, Zimbabwe. Like two human children, they played and cavorted, slinging mud around and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Tough Mudder is a twelve mile run punctuated with a series of obstacles designed by Special Forces. These include the Arctic Enema, which sees participants - or "Mudders" - submerged in a pool of ice cubes before swimming through them, beneath a wooden plank and then pulling themselves out the other side. Ice appears again in the Electric Eel obstacle, in which Mudders must slide on their bellies across a layer of the stuff. Any attempts to crawl on one's knees are thwarted by the live electrical wires overhead, which will smack and contort the body back to the ground. With other obstacles as variously named as Ball Shrinker, Fire Walker, Mud Mile and Electroshock Therapy, it's clear that this is not for the faint-hearted.
Which is why it's such a surprise to me that I've signed up to do it. Although I've taken some tiny steps over the last couple of years into the world of bodybuilding, and despite a natural agility and suppleness (gymnastics was the only Phys Ed subject on my high school report card with a decent grade) I haven't much tolerance for physical pain or discomfort, and before I started to train for Tough Mudder, I was barely able to run a mile before feeling like my life was at its end.
I've decided to raise money for the Ayrshire Hospice. My Mum works there as a carer, and I'm contributing to her efforts to fundraise. Donations, large or small, would be hugely appreciated. If I had only a cent or a penny for every time someone here has clicked to favourite a photograph, I'd go several times over my target! So please help. You can donate HERE
See a trailer for tough Mudder here.

Listen to this! and View Large On Black
‘Mud, mud, mud. What a glorious thing is mud! Mud, mud, mud. What a wonderful thing is mud! It sticks and stacks, it squeezes through cracks, Between your toes goes mud. It plops and drops, and oozes and goozes, Thick or thin it's Mud!’
There you are, in your special (very special!) wellies, carefully avoiding the really deep mud heading across the estuary at low tide to your desired photographic position. Tripod out, camera out, backpack back on your back so it doesn’t get muddy, bit of playing around with F stops and composition, bang a few shots out, perhaps waiting a little for the light to change looking aimlessly at the sky. You think you;ve nailed it, so it’s time to head home. Pull up ya tripod from the mud, sling it over your shoulder, you turn around to head home and then you realise... You have spent the last 15 mins in one position; you have sunk about 2 foot into the mud. You yank, and yank on each leg to try to release it. But nothing, apart from the odd squelch. You wiggle your toes, rotate your ankles and yank your leg again. Still not budging. Quick look up and down the estuary to make sure no one is witnessing this public humiliation, then back to the job at hand. One last concerted effort,... the biggest pull ever using both hands and then suddenly,.. your foot comes flying out of the wellie, with the wellie still left lodged two foot under as you stumble back throwing your camera to the estuary floor as your now sock covered foot plunges deep into the cold, oozey, goozey mud.
“F*ck me sideways, Nooooo!!!”
Surely I’m not the only one on here that has made this schoolboy error, am i...?? That is one long walk back home, let me tell ya..
