Deep Mud Adventures
The Best Way to Beat the Heat
I noticed that the tide was really low, yesterday, as I was driving my dog to the vet (she got a clean bill of health, thank you for asking). I checked the tide charts and headed out this morning about an hour ahead of low tide. I could have arrived even earlier; the tide was … Continue reading
Great Day for Getting Immersed!
Yes, I ventured into the swamp, today. The tide wasn’t very low, but conditions were good for a visit to my peat swamp. Once I arrived, I dove right in. I got totally immersed and enjoyed an excellent wallow. I had about an hour to play, and I took advantage of every minute. It was … Continue reading
Halloween in the Swamp
I got these awesome gold pants a few years ago around Halloween when they were on sale really cheap. I wanted to find a superhero top to go with them, but I never did. I finally purchased the top you see me wearing, here, and discovered that the finish on the pants had been tarnished … Continue reading
The Crazy Things that Happen During a Shoot

That can work for me, or against me. Given the recent rain, I wasn’t expecting much. I arrived early, … Continue reading
Weight, Weight, I’m going under!
Yes, this is a rerun from May 11. I was sad that I didn’t get the best part of the scene on camera. I left the weight at the mud hole, because I knew I was going back to play some more, and hauling that weight in and out of the peat bog is a … Continue reading
I Got Really Muddy, Today
I set out into the swamp, today, wearing a white shirt, leather pants, leather boots, a blindfold, and handcuffs. I got lost several times before I realized that I’d have to take the blindfold and handcuffs off if I was going to find any good mud. You might say, after weeks with no mud, I … Continue reading
Flashback to July, 2005!
You might wonder what was happening in my life back in July of 2005. Well, I was getting into as much trouble as ever.
