An image I took in preparation for my Minimalism project which I completed in the first year.
This image was taken March 2016.
This dam is located at the Grootvlei Dam, in the far east of the Kruger National Park and close to the border with Mozambique. It was well filled in autumn 2022. The picture was completely different in February 2024, more mud than water and yet there were plenty of elephants here at lunchtime. Some were drinking, others were playing around and the bulls were sneaking around the herds.....
This was the most intense smelling place. Stay too long and you can start to feel a little light headed...or nauseous. This place is ripe with Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Dioxide. But, the wonderful microorganisms that thrive on the Hydrogen Sulfide convert that gas into Sulfuric Acid, which in turn break down the rocks into the mud. <3 Biology
A Solitary Sandpiper heads for shallow water with a mud-covered leech in its beak. The leech was given a thorough rinse before being swallowed; unfortunately for me, the bird chose to turn its head away from my camera during the consumption.
The largest source of medicinal mud in Croatia with long tradition of its therapeutical use

Best seen large to see the detail on the mud splash
Adrienne Roybal tries to prevent dirt from flying into her eyes as she dives into the mud pit after a low pass at the annual mud volleyball tournament at the county fair.
The only way to get this shot was to be up close and personal - did i get splashed - umm i'll let you guys figure that one out:) lets just say the gear got a real good clean after this shoot:)
In the early morning mist the harbour mudflat looked like it might stretch on forever (Poole, Dorset, UK).

Nothing like a cooling mud bath on a hot day! Playing around with textures just to see what might happen. Shot in Samburu, Kenya.
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.
The day the Olympic Torch came to Sunderland. Wettest summer ever. There is a path under there somewhere!

Geochemical activity of "Salinelle dei Cappuccini o dello Stadio" mud volcanoes located in the periphery of Paternò, Catania, Sicily. In the bottom part of the picture are also visible the gases (probably carbon dioxide (CO2) or methane (CH4)) coming from inside the mud volcano.

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)...

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).

This morning Pumpkin Pie & Boney Baloney
were taken over to the mud/cobra field.
Remember due to the monsoons
the grass in now head high.
The scooter/sidecar has to plow through the
high grass while Pumpkin & Boney run
behind trying to keep up with me.
And I'm going real slow ;-)---
So this photo was taken as we were leaving.
See the mud ruts ? They are real deep !
Right here we are stuck so I got off,
pushed my hip against the seat
while twisting the wick.
Rocked back an forth until the back tire got
purchase as I continued to walk along side.
Once we were out I just sat sidesaddle for
a bit then threw my left leg over the saddle
and off we went back into the village ;-)-
Tomorrow we still have plans to return
to the temple. Mama will be washed
then taken to the dog clinic for
care. Then back, drop off
Mama and pickup
The Zoomer.
Legs The Zoomer may stay with us for awhile
as she too is cared for which may require
the "cone of shame plus medications.
We'll just play that one by ear and
see how it goes. Pumpkin and
Miss Legs are sisters and
lived together at the
nuns place.
Only time will tell if they can get along ?
So there ya go, another slice of life ;-)
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.

As this elephant cow walked past the car, she was so covered in mud, that I wondered how she could see out of that mud encrusted eye...
During our recent visit in Amboseli National Park, we encountered this hippo bathing in the muddy marshlands

Parque das Nações, Lisboa, Portugal.
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.

Abused & Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
First thing this morning Pumpkin
and Boney were taken for their
run along the reservoir. Notice
the big dark spot on Pumpkins
neck ? She just loves to find
something gooey, stinky and
sticky to roll around in ! ;-0-
Boney is more dignified and
avoids doing such behavior.
This is going to be another
very busy day, lots to do,
so I wanted to get this
posted before I burn
out and fade away.
Thanks again for any an all support ;-)
Thank You.
