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 ;-)-

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.

‘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..
An early thaw, in late February, brings mud, puddles, ugly blackened snowbanks, and, where sugar maples grow, the running sap that will be boiled down into the nectar of the northeast, maple syrup. Doesn't that thought sweeten this dark view?

On a sidewalk in a residential construction site in Madison, Alabama. Heavy rain washed mud around some object on the sidewalk. Someone moved that object after the mud had dried.

The last of the volcanoes series...
Mud volcanoes appear mostly when gas pockets or gas deposits associated with oil manage to seep to the surface, transporting water mixed with solid material (mud, made mainly of clay and sand). Of course, these volcanoes are not hot at all, on the contrary, they can have temperatures that almost reach the freezing point. Their relief stands for 2-3 years, compared to tens of thousands of years in the case of the real volcanoes.
Still, the largest mud volcanoes have a diameter of 10 km (6 mi) and are 700 meters (2,300 ft) tall. But most of them have surfaces of tens of square meters to several hectares.
About 1,100 mud volcanoes have been detected on land (700) and in shallow water, but there may be much more than 10,000 on continental slopes and abyssal plains.
In Europe, mud volcanoes are found on the Kerch Peninsula (southeastern Ukraine) and northern Apennines and Sicily (Italy). Easily accessible are the mud volcanoes of Berca (Buzau, Romania) close to the Carpathians.
300 out of the world's 700 known mud volcanoes are located in Eastern Azerbaijan and the shores of the Caspian Sea. A 2001 eruption 15 kilometers (9 mi) from Baku spewed flames which were 15 m (45 ft) tall.
Mud volcanoes are also found in the mountains between Iran and Pakistan, China's western Uyghur province, Arakan Coast (Myanmar) and nearby Andaman islands and South Taiwan.

Professional Mud Monsters returning home
after doing battle in the mud cobra field ;-)-
They chased birds and splashed through
the deep quagmire at high rates of speed.
Once again we parked by the bird house and
walked in. Mr Murphy traps are everywhere !
No rain this morning but upon our arrival
at the m/c field I dismounted and did a
walkabout. No way was the bike going
into the field. The walk does me good.
After an hour the three monsters were
loaded up into the sidecar and off we
went stopping first at the village gas
station for fuel. Once home dogs &
bike are hosed down, then fed ;-)
Thank You.
Jon&Crew.

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.

Sometimes we had spare time to have fun. In the spring when the snow was gone the club London Road Runners,would have a "mud-run" to raise money for the "Bunny Bundle" A radio sponsored fund raiser for the community,"Easter Seals". Best man and machine wins. 1st past the post. Every body usually got a prize.The club no longer exists,only in the memories of the few that are left.
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.
