Sadly, the forecast is for rain the rest of the week. With the higher than usual tides caused by the closer than usual moon, and all the rain we&#8217;ve been having, I&#8217;m afraid it will be at least two more weeks before I&#8217;ll be able to go mudding in the swamp. I may do something in the back yard when it stops raining long enough.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I renewed my ambition to create a deep mud pit in the woods behind my house. This has been a rainy summer, so the ground has been super saturated. While poking around, I found a spot where the ground beneath the tree roots is spongy. I&#8217;m hoping I can dig deep enough to make it interesting, and back-fill the hole with peat and maybe some sawdust. I would love to have a pit where I can go completely under with little to no effort.<\/p>\n<p>This has been a slow mud year. I hope everyone is doing well. I finished my first draft of my making of a mud movie, movie. I&#8217;m trying to figure out the sound track, then I&#8217;ll have to release it. My biggest problem is I still don&#8217;t know how to release it. I lost a major source of income, so I hate to give away a fine piece of work, but I really want lots of people to see it, and that means I&#8217;ll have to give it away. I&#8217;ve considered giving away a low resolution version and selling the full resolution version. That didn&#8217;t work well when I tried it in the past, and Clips4Sale is not an efficient way to handle donations, since they keep 40%.<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned. I&#8217;ll have to work on something this week. I won&#8217;t be able to shoot because it will be raining, nonstop. Thanks for dropping by. Sorry there isn&#8217;t much going on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The sun came out today for the first time in a week. Sadly, the forecast is for rain the rest of the week.
