Deep Mud Adventures
Mud, at last!
Aha! The sun was shining and the tide was low around midday. I think my tide chart is a little off, though, because the tide was low when I arrived, and I should have been 30 minutes early. The good news is that I did get immersed in some wonderful, thick, deep mud. That was … Continue reading
It was an adventure
I have some regrets, but I got a moderate low tide and no rain. I think the tide was assisted by a wind out of the northwest. I wish I had left earlier. When I arrived at the creek, the tide was already pretty low, so I lost about 40 minutes of play time to … Continue reading
Super Moon
Well, the super moon did nothing to save my streak of tepid low tides.

What really happened was not … Continue reading

Saturday Afternoon Swamp

I got at least 10cm below the surface while I still had an open tunnel to breath through. … Continue reading
Talking to the Camera
I spent most of my time in the swamp, today, recording for my Making of a Mud Movie, Movie (MMMM). Yes, I’m still working on that. I was planning on doing some quick shots for the MMMM, but when I saw that the tide was taking it’s time going out, I decided to record some … Continue reading
