One of three rhinos in a group that was relaxing in the midday hotness. Photographed in Ziwa Rhino Sanctuary.
A western tiger swallowtail, Papilio rutulus, and a short-tailed swallowtail, Papilio indra, sip fluids from mud at the edge of a small pond.
Puddling provides butterflies with both salts and amino acids, for which males have greater needs than females, and consequently most puddling butterflies are male.
These two were part of a large group, containing about 7 species, puddling at Heil Ranch, Boulder, Colorado.
Cape buffalo, Queen Elizabeth National Park, Uganda.
We surprised this guy in the middle of a bath. He was not overly thrilled by our arrival.

I was trying to photograph some very large black and yellow mud-dauber wasps when this smaller species turned up. They all collect mud from a damp spot on the lawn in our holiday garden in Sicily.
I'll post some images of the larger species when I manage to get a decent shot (they are not very tolerant of human company!

Happy Monday everyone, been taking a break from snapping photos and feeling the need to get some more! In the meantime I've been looking at earlier ones and found this snap from early April at the Coogoorah Reserve at Anglesea.

Mud wrestlers during a bout at the Akhara Siyaram club on the banks of the Hoogly River in Kolkata. There are about fifty club members who treat the facility rather like a gym where they meet at around 5am to practice their training routines under the guidance of the guru, Jawala Tewari.

Just off the road to Krýsuvík is a solfatara field at Seltún, Iceland which contains mud pools, acidic hot springs; fumaroles and steaming ground. Fumaroles in the area deposit sulfur and sulphates on the ground near the vents. Fumaroles whose steam is rich in sulfur are called solfataras. The main sulphur area is a fumarole field that lies southwest of the boardwalk at Seltún but sulfur and sulphates around some of the steam vents, mud pools and acidic hot springs were visible to us as we strolled along the boardwalk.
Seltún is part of the large Krýsuvík Geothermal field which lies on one of the NE-SW trending volcanic systems that cross the Reykjanes Peninsula. The volcanic zones lie in the middle of the fissure zone on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge which traverses Iceland and are visible along the south of Reykjanes.
In the mid-20th century there were plans to develop the geothermal field for utilization, including power production, and Seltún then became one of the main drilling targets. There are old drill pads to be seen near the path along the creek. According to the Iceland Geosurvey (ISOR) one of the "boreholes started erupting intermittently in the winter of 2010". They reported that an interval of a few days between the eruptions. We found the spot but on two different visits to the field I saw no sign of geyser activity. ISOR also reports "another old borehole blew up in 1999 forming a crater with a diameter of about 30 m, now filled by mud except where a flow of steam keeps boiling pits open". That unexpected explosion in 1999 reportedly caused the geothermal project to be halted. The springs have been preserved due to the lack of drilling and geothermal exploitation.
Temperatures are over 200 degrees C just below the surface. Geologist from the Iceland Geosurvey believe "the water of the pools is surface water heated by steam from a boiling geothermal reservoir. Accompanying gases such as hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide acidify the water and alter the rock to clay. Only the uppermost 300 m of the reservoir at Seltún is boiling, i.e., follows the boiling curve in accordance with increasing pressure. Below this depth, a temperature inversion occurs, indicating that the boiling section is fed laterally from an upflow some distance away.”
The geothermal field is located in the Reykjanes Geopark.

Every May at Camp Pendleton US Marine Base holds an annual Mud Run open to all from youth through adults. This year the oldest competitor was an 88 year old woman. The 10k event is a tough challenge through mud holes, over walls and other obstacles.

At the Dalyan mud baths , Turkey 2013
Tourists going for the mud baths were asked to leave their cameras behind and were promised photographers will come our way and take our photos ( not for free I guess ). But I thought what if we no photographer comes. I hate to loose the opportunity of taking the shots . Anyway , I secretly brought with me the small Nikon Coolpix S30 which takes underwater shots which might be ok even if it happens dipped in mud , leaving the other 2 cameras behind, just to make it sure. In the middle of mud bathing , came the confirmation , that I was right then. Not even a shadow of any Dalyan mud photographer turned up to take tourists shots as promised . I was the only one with my camera taking as many shots . The safety guards didn't even bother . See it , just don't believe on any promises, most of them meant to be broken .:)

To whom it may concern , if you think of me with having a strong christian faith that I should not be posting images of half naked people. First of all , if you think these people are sensual and seductive and had aroused your libido, there must be a problem in you in the first place and that's within you and I can't help it but rather pray for you if u message me, seriously. My intention is to show my photographic experience at the mud bath , and not to seduce. It's reality can't find people in swimming pools fully clothed, more so in mud
After raining for 10 days straight, it's finally let up a bit. I was desperate to go for a walkabout even though the sky is still heavy and grey. Mostly what I found was mud.
[10/365] Quest for mud!
For years I have longed for a picture with MX bikes and flying mud - my journey has come to an end.
My hard disk is full of countless shots of black dots to an empty background or flying mud with no context or meaning.
This picture is the shit!!!
Shot on “Stångebroslaget” which is an Enduro competition with over 2000 participants. I usually participate myself, but this year only my brother drove. My brother had his share of the mud and I had mine, but in a completely different way. Yes, I got dirty! ;)
