37° Celsius, the mud is on. I was really wondering with the water nearby, that these few hippos prefered lying in the burning sun. But maybe, it feels good, with that thick layer of mud on the skin??!

The mud matted fur of this hyena gave it an unrefined look, and judging by the missing top piece from its ear, it may have survived a Mike Tyson like encounter with another competitor. It's tough being a wild hyena.
Just look at them
Daily I clean the bird bath and refill it with clean water
and what do they do...... ice /mud bathing in a plant pot filled with dirty muddy water...lol

“The Jabiimi sure can put on a fight!”
“We’ve got to take that trench, troopers, lets move!”
“Sir, I can barely see shit.”
“What are we even shooting at?”
“These wet cloaks just make everything heavier, I thought they had to prevend that from happening?”
“Some microbinoculars would have been nice to have in this foggy mudbath, miserly Republic.”
“CT-7533, on your right!”
“Sir, when exactly will those AT-TE’s arrive?”
“Sir, we’re gaining a lot of ground on the East.”
“Sir,…”
“Sir,…”
“Sir!”
“Did you enjoy your nap, sir? Or were you just gazing in the distance, I couldn’t tell the difference with your helmet on.” The in mud covered trooper giggles. You smile under your helmet and slowly wake up, followed by asking him a status report.
“That’s why I woke you, sir. We have taken all of the trenches on the East and North side and we’ve got the Jabiimi Nationalists on the run. We think they will regroup at there forward base and hit us back with a big assault.”
You hear and feel a cold breeze going through the trenches, sounding like a ghost wispering in the comlink of your helmet. You pause for a second and think. “We have to prepare ourselfs for what’s coming, trooper! Count our munition, gather the food and get rid of those corpses. The trenches will be filled with fresh ones later I’m afraid.”

Jester and Muck just told us about our next mission. Jabiim. I heard it’s a real hellhole, lots of mud, fog and rain covering the whole planet. Hence why we need to report to the armory to pick up our new ‘mission essential’ gear.
Kinda unfortunate, I really liked my ARF gear. I heard the new armor has a different color, AGAIN. More camouflage and cloaks. Made so that our boots and armor doesn’t get filled with water and mud. Our armor is heavy enough already, so everything that prevents it from getting more heavy I’ll be more than willing to accept. And I also don’t want any sand and mud between my skin and armor.

My newest mission for the 253rd is finally here! I'm very excited to show you this one. For once, I'm also glad with how the log turned out haha :D
Enjoy!

The wild ponies have arrived back at Gurnard's Head. They were there for a few months last winter too with the idea that their grazing keeps the bracken down on the headland and allows the wild flowers to grow. We certainly had a spectacular display of flowers last spring. The downside is that the ponies make the already muddy footpaths into deep mudbaths, but we can't have it all ways. They are lovely to see.
The lowest point on Earth.
Minus 430 meters from sea level.
Watch the sunset across the water and look across to the West Bank and the distant lights of Jerusalem.
The Dead Sea is located in the Syro-African Rift, a 4000-mile fault line in the earth’s crust. The lowest point of dry land on earth is the shoreline of the Dead Sea at 1300 feet below sea level. That the lake is at the lowest point means that water does not drain from this lake. Daily 7 million tons of water evaporate but the minerals remain, causing the salt content to increase. Figures for the Dead Sea’s salinity today range from 26-35%.
Mud Bathing
It is a "private beach"! Be happy.
Most beaches have mud pots by the sea's edge where you can self-administer a full-body mud pack.
Leave it in place to bake under the sun for five to ten minutes and then wash it off in the sea.
It tightens the skin and leaves it feeling smooth, tingly and refreshed.
At 431m below sea level – the lowest point on earth – the Dead Sea is a body of intense blue water, polished smooth like oiled skin on a windless day in winter and ruffled into whitecaps by the summer winds.
This bench is located on the Camino Quintin, San Pedro del Pinatar, overlooking one of the Baños de Lodo (Mud Baths), with the salt factory in the distance. People cover themselves in mud from the lagoon which is said to have healing powers. HBM
On the Jordanian side, nine international franchises have opened seaside resort hotels near the King Hussein Bin Talal Convention Center, along with resort apartments, on the eastern shore of the Dead Sea. The 9 hotels have boosted the Jordanian side's capacity to 2,800 rooms.
This stylish hotel spa has a heated pool, Dead Sea saltwater pool, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Treatments include massages (55 minutes), body wraps, salt scrubs, phytomer and mud facials, dry flotation and hydrobaths. An Arabic loofah experience (75 minutes) has to be tried to be believed – expect your skin to glow by the end.
A warthog enjoying a mud bath at a water hole. At one point he was tossing clumps of mud up into the air with his tusks. The quote comes from The Hippopotamus Song, written and made famous by Flanders & Swan.
From this angle it looks quite serene and attractive, but in reality the flooding has turned anywhere near the water into a squelching mudbath. Excellent area to take a wander though as there are photo opportunities almost everywhere you look, so here's one from the other day before the stormy clouds raced overhead

A small herd of elephants creating a roadblock after a mudbath, when crossing the dusty road and went to business.
The Promised Land is on the other bank of Jordan.
And I'm going to float in the salt water of the lake.
And smear my body with medicinal clay.
And lotsa beer!!!

Orphans from the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. I can't think of any other organization that helps save elephants more than them. The DSWT helps orphaned elephants (and other animals) grow and eventually return to the wild where they belong. We can all do something to help save these wonderful creatures.
