This "Old Dagga Boy" has lived a very hard life. I would love to hear his stories.
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.

“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!
Ojo Caliente is one of our most favorite weekend get away spots. Ojo is an historic hot springs resort and spa in Northern New Mexico, known for its unique mineral-rich, sulfur-free waters. Located in a secluded desert valley, the resort is one of the oldest natural health resorts in the United States, with a history of healing that dates back centuries, including use by Native Americans.
They have four distinct mineral types / pools to soak in... Lithia, Iron, Arsenic & Soda each with it's own purported therapeutic properties.
After the Resort and Spa in the Dead Sea, after 29 days of travel, I read about this men's bath some days of the week, 'Marrakech Moroccan Hamman'.
The article says, 'Pamper yourself in true Middle Eastern style with a 2-hour and 40-minute Turkish' hamam '(traditional Turkish bath) experience in Amman. After a steam bath, enjoy an invigorating body scrub and gentle massage: a time-honored procedure dating back to the Ottoman Empire that was central to Middle Eastern culture. You'll come away feeling totally relaxed and renewed. Your 2-hour-40-minute package (there are several packges).
One of the city's Middle Eastern bath houses. Head inside, and be shown to a locker room to your nahn (wooden clogs), and pestemal (traditional, towel-like robe). Then, enter the steam room; a tiled, dimly lit room filled with hot, moist air. Take a seat and relax in the steam, waiting as you build up a sweat and the humidity teases toxins and impurities out of your skin.After a maximum of 15 minutes here, relax on a warmed stone or in the rest areas, and pour soothing warm water over your body from the copper bowls.Then, stretch out and enjoy an invigorating body scrub performed by one of the skilled attendants using a kese (exfoliating mitt). Bask in the long, sweeping movements designed to cleanse your pores, stimulate circulation and remove any dead skin.Next, relax into a soapy scrub as the attendant smothers you in clouds of soft suds, and enjoy a wonderful 15-minute massage five different massages with refugee Syrian men), perhaps with rose water and oils.
Afterward, retire to a relaxation room, and sip a refreshing tea as you enjoy the feeling of total rejuvenation and relaxation. Be sure to drink plenty of water to compensate for the loss of fluids. The duration of your Turkish bath can vary, but in total, most experiences last between an hour and 1.5 hours.

....when taking a mud bath, you might easily slip into a compromising situation.

This is a computer altered variation of an original oil painting on canvas. The original I posted some time back and later a similar variation. I later found several areas in that variation needed correcting so I trust this latest variation of the bathers overcomes the earlier inconsistencies. The original was influenced by the well known painting by David Bromberg of the Mudbath. Which he painted around 1914 just before the outbreak of the First World War. He and some other young British artists had attempted to respond to contemporary art movements in France and other art centres in Europe that brought so much change in art in those times. Soon involved in the Front Line in Flanders’s. David Bromberg having survived the War, rejected his former modern approach when he resumed in artwork post 1918. The Mudbath and several of his pre 1914 WW1 were only discovered after his passing in 1957. I attended David Bomberg’s evening drawing classes at the Borough Polytechnic in South East London between 1950 and 1953_
During our recent visit in Amboseli National Park, we encountered this hippo bathing in the muddy marshlands
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.

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.
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.
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.
just in from the mudbath of the british grand prix...so wet all day,sea of mud and huge traffic snarl-ups..enjoyed it,though...!..this is Romain Grosjean trying not to aquaplane off....
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.
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.
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.
To think, only a couple of weeks ago we were all complaining about the dust. Ulster Classic Motorcycle Club's Kempe Stones Classic mudbath.
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.
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.
