“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 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!
Following their afternoon bottles, the keepers hosed down the little elephants and added more water to the big mud bath area. Elephants love a good mud bath and the orphans are no exception.
With no sweat glands, the cooler mud helps them regulate their body temperature and provide a natural sunscreen. Mud is also a great way to get rid of any parasites on the skin. But most of all, it’s just a lot of fun.

I've recently added to my collection of camera lenses with a Sigma 10-20mm. I've been after a wide angle lens for a long time to bring new views to my church photos. This is the first of the churches that I've revisited to try for a wider view.
Luckily since my last visit here the village hall next door has had a footpath laid to enable better views of the church without climbing through a mudbath.
This is All Saints in the village of Saxby All Saints in North Lincolnshire.
During our recent visit in Amboseli National Park, we encountered this hippo bathing in the muddy marshlands

Elephant (Loxodonta africana) youngster, one of the desert Elephants of the Namib Desert, enjoyes the luxury of a mud bath from a hole the herd dug in the dry Hoanib River bed. The Elephants come into the Hoanib River to search for water. When finding none, they dig. It is uncanny how they can find water. Image taken in Namibia.

A crop taken from one of my Lido Paintings in Oils on Canvas of bathers on a sunny day in the Lido in Brockwell Park. My actual visits to the Lido set in a beautiful wooded section of the Park was painted from memories of the long ago and the painting itself was undertaken at least twenty years back. The painting is one of a series of bathers in a public baths that I painted in response to the painting of the Mudbath by David Bomberg now in the Tate Gallery in London. David’s now famous painting was itself painted just before the beginning of the First World War War in 1914. It was a time when young artists in London were attempting to respond to the wave of Modern Art itaking place in Paris in those early days of the 20th Century. David was in the British Army who fought on the Western Front and came home a shattered man no longer able to paint in the modern style. After a decade or so he did resume what was seen to be avant guard art but not in the geometric style. I later attended his drawing classes at the Borough Polytechnic in London.
Two young elephants had a wonderful time rolling in the water and mud of the waterhole in Hwange, Zimbabwe. Like two human children, they played and cavorted, slinging mud around and thoroughly enjoying themselves.

Back to my South Africa photos for a while. We have planned our next trip to the UK for June/July and I still have so many photos I want to add to my South African 2016 album.

I strongly believe what is happening in Syria right now is the unfolding
of Isaiah 17 prophecy before our very eyes !
To be specific , Isaiah 17 speaks of Damascus become a ruinous heap !
It's underway. Then there is simultaneous turmoil in Egypt. In which
had been written
in Isaiah 19, Egyptians will fight against
Egyptians, which would mean no other than a mega civil unrest,
not only that , the Nile would dry up. It hasn't happened yet, but possibly sooner, if
Ethiopia will seriously pursue what's already being planned
to build a dam which in effect would divert large
amount of the Nile away from it's river path to Egypt.
Amazing Bible prophesy materializing before our eyes in these latter
days before the coming of the Lord !
Yet many would still ridicule the Bible out of their unbelief.
Please pray for the people of Syria and Egypt .

It's time now to keep watching for the Lord's coming, don't sleep
and continue to do wicked ways and get caught like that of the
thief in the night . Jesus is coming soon my friends which most likely
your mainstream churches aren't talking about and keep you all asleep.

Is this an insight what is to happen in what ever form , as preparation.
If the US is pushing for the division of the land ( Israel), if through the US
diplomatic actions this will happen, then pretty sure there is judgement
from God. This is just an eye-opening and as warning of darker events
ahead. Just prepare yourselves friends those who are living in the US.
I have warned my family out there and hope they listened.
A happy horse in a paddock. I guess the owner wasn't as happy as his horse when they met again later that day! :)
I add another capture in the first comment.

In fact, it's way more stinky than way big stinky !
It's Huge Way Big Stinky. It's Colossal Big Stinky.
It smells like baby poop, rotten fish,
spoiled milk, and old cod liver oil !
We arrived at the mud cobra field at 5:55AM.
We spent 97 minutes there but most of that
time was spent getting the bike un-stuck !
The gray clay is just like gooey slick ice.
Not only gooey but it also sticks 2 you.
Many Murphy Traps and some areas were
like attempting to cross the Wallace Line.
Once home the dogs were given a bath
fed and put to bed. The digital card was
in the card reader while I took a shower.
What happened next didn't surprise me.
I sat down at the computer and all of my
energy just slipped away into nowhere !
Did get the photo uploaded, but that's it.
No text or tags, No# 1 said, " go 2 bed."
Laid down, 4 hours later my eyes opened.
In-fact, I've been sleeping on & off all day.
---- ( it's 8:PM in Thailand right now. ) ----
It appears that cutting banana trees one day
then the next day going to the m/c field was
way to much for my worn-out old carcass ;-0

Elephants (Loxodonta africanus) - Naboisho Conservancy, Maasai Mara, Kenya
________
Always a helping trunk there if you need it. Watching elephants playing in mud, it's easy to imagine that their experience is one of uncomplicated, unconstrained joy.
No-one told this little cutie that he is meant to keep his fur whiter than white, but even if they did he seemed to be having a fabulous time just rolling around in the mud.
Luckily there's a nice clean swimming spot for Rocky on his walk home from this park so he's nice and clean again by the time he gets home! Can't say the same for the rest of us though, he definitely likes to share the mud!
This is how the previous "Old Dagga Boy" might have looked ten years ago.
Older males are generally forced out of the group. They tend to be solitary or join bachelor herds. You might hear guides refer to them as "old dagga boys". The word "dagga" is Zulu and means mud - it refers to the fact that they like wallowing in mud.
The African or Savannah buffalo is traditionally known as the meanest beast in the bush, prone to launch a killing charge at the drop of a hat. Although this is the natural reaction of almost any buffalo that is being shot at, many non-provoked, solitary males like the one in this image also do it. The most common species, a very large black-pelted grassland dweller, can weigh up to 1,750 pounds.
Not a good quality photo but I don't think I have ever shown you the dirty side of Oscar. Milo would never do this!!

Male elephant (Loxodonta africana) named "Jotto" drinking from a garden hose. Jotto was born February 20, 2016 at the Namunyak Conservancy in Samburu and was orphaned at a very young age. He now lives at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Nairobi, Kenya, Africa. Jotto is posing with my husband, Frank, who was smitten with this particular little ellie and formally adopted him at the orphanage.
