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.

This little critter was in the process of building a new house on a ladder support behind my garage. They gather mud from a nearby creekbed and bring it back to stick it on the "home."
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)
I'm still in random mode with my Flickr posts.
A mudder in horse racing is a horse that runs well on a muddy track. As we watched this young bison calf running full speed through the mud and water of French Creek in Custer State Park, South Dakota, I told my wife, "he's a mudder".
After spending the night at the Bristlecone Pines National Forest (29° F), I made my way down to Death Valley (96° F) to see about the sunset on the Mesquite Sand Dunes.
Every time you visit the Dunes is a totally different experience. The possible comps out there are limitless, and you never know what you will find.
On this trip, I was fascinated with this particular patch of baked mud, and the shape of the sand dunes in the background.
I don't normally do a lot of black and white photos, but this just seems to really work well on this photo.

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.
Conforme se retira la marea va dejando al descubierto una orilla llena de alimento, pero también cubierta del fango más fino.

As the tide recedes, it reveals a shore full of food, but also covered in the finest mud.

Elsa would do anything for the Blythe a Day community, but she is not 100% convinced about getting into the mud today...
Fortunately she heard that it has been previously stablished by Jude (Mayra's dollie) that a glass of wine makes you not to fuss too much.
Blythe a Day. February 2026. Day 9.
Someday I'll have to challenge an AI to find this pattern on a topographic map somewhere.
In the meantime, these layers of clay mud tell a story of water, wind, floods and rains in the desert. The light angle was just right to highlight the "topo lines" in this minature landscape.
