Doug, walking through swamp grass
Up to his shoulders in thick mud
I ventured out into the swamp today. The breeze was cool but the sun was warm, and I’ve been dying to get back into the mud. I decided to wear jeans and visit my wooded location, where the mud is really thick. As it turned out; the mud was really thick!
Thick mud has it’s pros and cons. On the pro side, it makes for a great struggle, and it’s a bear to get out of. As a consequence, it’s also very difficult to go completely under. I fought long and hard to get all the way under, but I only got in up to my shoulders. It would have been great to watch that thick mud, slowly closing over my face, but just getting up to my shoulders took all the time I had. I think I made a good show of it, though.
