At the waters edge. Thick mud stuck firmly into my arch and between my toes. Ready for a dip into the cool water!
Ollie today the little stinker! None of this mud was planned I let them out in the yard for a few mins(right after a bath! what was I thinking???) and I found them covered in mud. They even threw mud at me!

Went out for a walk with Loki and I wanted to take a shortcut through the cornfield, had my rubberboots on, so I thought no problem, but at the end of the field, the amount of mud was to much for my boots ... got stuck ... no panic ...
got rid of the boots and the socks ...So it's barefoot that I struggled to released them from the mud... Luckely no one saw me, well at least I hope so ;-)
The Mudna House had been completely covered in thick mud. You could tell that it had been scraped and shoveled out. Some parts still had some died mud remains like this bathroom sink
We visited this unique landscape with mud volcanoes in Buzau Mts., Romania. Here are some more details about this place:
"The Berca Mud Volcanoes are a geological and botanical reservation located in the Berca commune in the Buzău County in Romania. Its most spectacular feature is the mud volcanoes, small volcano-shaped structures typically a few meters high caused by the eruption of mud and natural gases.
As the gases erupt from 3000 meters-deep towards the surface, through the underground layers of clay and water, they push up underground salty water and mud, so that they overflow through the mouths of the volcanoes, while the gas emerges as bubbles. The mud dries off at the surface, creating a relatively solid conical structure, resembling a real volcano. The mud expelled by them is cold, as it comes from inside the Earth's continental crust layers, and not from the mantle.
The reservation is unique in Romania. The mud volcanoes create a strange lunar landscape, due to the absence of vegetation around the cones. Vegetation is scarce because the soil is very salty, an environmental condition in which few plants can survive." (Wikipedia)

Mud-puddling is the phenomenon mostly seen in butterflies and involves their aggregation on substrates like wet soil, dung and carrion to obtain nutrients such as salts and amino acids.
Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) are diverse in their strategies to gather liquid nutrients. Typically, mud-puddling behavior takes place on wet soil. But even sweat on human skin may be attractive to butterflies. The most unusual sources include blood and tears.
This behaviour is restricted to males in many species. Males seem to benefit from the sodium uptake through mud-puddling behaviour with an increase in reproductive success. The collected sodium and amino acids are often transferred to the female with the spermatophore during mating as a nuptial gift. This nutrition also enhances the survival rate of the eggs.
This is an image of the mud men tribe from Papua New Guinea. The legend goes that many years ago these men where running from their enemy who was trying to kill them. As they ran down a hill they all fell into a huge mud pit. When they climbed got out of the mud they were covered from head to toe. As their enemy came over the hill and saw them they thought they were ghosts and they ran away. After that experience the tribe decided to keep the mud on and add the mask. They were one of my favorite tribes!
