Death Valley—land of incredible textures and formations everywhere you turn. Only us photographers would actually roll around in the mud as I did a couple of mornings to capture some unique layered cracks. Cracks on top of cracks. I wanted to capture something a little different with some serious depth. I stack focused 7 shots here for sharpness throughout. Got a very brief, but intense, flash of color in the sky.
There was a fair amount of new erosion and recently-wet mud on my visit to Death Valley earlier this month, and a lot of it was rained on again on Monday. I can't wait to get back there in a few days to see what's growing where!
Mud, Glorious Mud!!

this is my little princess making mud pies in a fancy sun dress and hat!!! ;)
I processed this into a sepia tone as well (see it below). But I think I ended up liking this one better. I like the bright sunshine...over exposed look. What do you think? hope I made the right choice? I took this at 9:30 a.m....it was amazing how bright the low sun was already shining!!

The weather forecast looked favorable in NE Georgia so we decided to try to get to five waterfalls in a day earlier this week. Very fun day. This is my first posting from it.
I saw a posting of Mud Creek Falls in NE Georgia recently. I've visited that area several times but had never heard of it so decided to check it out.
Mud Creek is really very nice. We had pretty decent overcast skies but there was some sun popping into the scene at times. A nice thing about this falls is that there is no hiking needed. It is located at the end of a road with several parking places available. Composition possibilities are a bit slim as you're limited in moving around. Definitely one to see if you're in that area.
Thanks for viewing my photos. Comments are always welcome.

Lassen National Park has a very large and active thermal area. This isn't it. That area was closed to foot traffic. You know, the NPS protecting us from ourselves, because there was some snow on the trail.
This shot is from a small thermal area located right alone the road. The little boiling mud pot was interesting, but it's no Yellowstone, to be sure.

On the way to Little Finland, if you keep your eyes open, you'll spot this site.
Gold Butte National Monument
In 1870, explorers stood in awe as Mud Volcano spewed mud into the treetops, shaking the ground with each eruption. Two years later it was a pool of bubbling, muddy water. Mud Volcano had blown itself apart.
Hydrogen sulfide gas rising from Yellowstone's magma chamber causes the rotten-egg smell.
Microorganisms, or thermophiles, use this gas as a source of energy, and then help turn the gas into sulfuric acid. Sulfuric acid breaks down the rock and soil into mud.
Many of the colors are vast communities of thermophiles, but some of the yellow is pure sulphur.
When iron mixes with sulphur to form iron sulfide, gray and black swirls sometimes appear in the mud.

Mornings on this country road always seems to offer up some rays of light. You better have a clean windshield.
I felt it was better you hear what's happening than to just watch it.

Mud Muse (1968-1971)
The bottom of the vat contains a complex network of air pumps equipped with sound sensors.Based on the frequency of the music that is playing,the pumps release varying amounts of compressed air which in turn causes the mud to bubble up.Before long the bubbles are are gurgling in time to the music.

And here we are in The Mud Cobra Field ;)-
Arrived around 7;22AM, took our time and then
found our way all the way down to the rest area.
Where we rested, well I rested! Dogs didn't rest!
Place felt like a ghost town except 4 the deep ruts
and divots left by the tread on the big tractor tires!
There was a couple moderate Murphy Traps
but no big deal, just boxed around them ;0-
The dogs kept running off deeper into the
palm oil plantation then running back to me.
I got the message and broke my first rule.
And what message was that you may be asking?
Started the scooter and followed the dogs, that rule!
But, I went way slow, so slow if you were to be walking
next to me, you would in fact, be way ahead of me ;)---
Only did a half a lap, then went back to the rest area.
Very few photos were taken as my main objective
was to be cautious and not cause my body any
kind of harm at all. Everything seems in-order
but I am pretty tired which means it's nap
time. Dogs are sleeping and so will I ;)

The tide is out and the foreground is Mud Bay where migrating shorebirds stop to take their fill of creatures living in the mud as the tide rolls in and out. The birds follow the tides edge as it uncovers and then covers back up the mud. In October there are no migrating shorebirds here to take advantage of the resources. Kachemak Bay is the deep water between the mud and the glacial fields of the mountains across the bay.

The fractures in the mud come about when night temperatures fall well below freezing and form ice crystals in the mud. When morning comes and the sun strikes the mud melting the crystals leaving their prints behind. Paria River Valley, Kane County, Utah.
Need to go Large on this one if you have time
This must be one of the most low contrast shots I have ever posted. The grey seals and the mud they are fighting in merge together totally. The fight was as ever over territory and they kept it up for some time with no clear result. It could even be seen as a metaphor for the crazy times we are living in.
It was taken at the Donna Nook reserve on the Lincolnshire coast
THANKS FOR YOUR VISIT AND FOR TAKING THE TIME TO WRITE A COMMENT IT’S MUCH APPRECIATED.

This Pacific golden plover has been probing the rain soaked ground for earthworms and insects. There is mud on its bill and head. But my favorite detail is the adorable eyelashes. (View large.)
Camouflaged for ground nesting, the Kolea (Pluvialis fulva) annually migrates from breeding grounds in Alaska and Siberia to tropical Pacific islands over thousands of miles of open ocean. After 3 to 4 days and nights of non-stop flying it arrives at the first landfall, Hawaii. A magnificent navigator, it uses the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find the exact same location each year. This one winters in Hawaii. Some continue on into the southern hemisphere as far as New Zealand.
The sleeping Mud Maid was created by local artists Sue Hill and her brother, Pete. This, and their other mud sculpture The Giant's Head, were designed to enhance the woodland experience, following the fashion of Victorian ornamentation.
