\"DJT_6449\"<\/a>The high water persists, and the mercury is dropping. Starting Tuesday, it’s supposed to clear up and maybe we’ll get a week of dry weather. The way it’s been, I’m not holding my breath.<\/p>\n

I went out on the creek on Friday at low tide, and the water was easily 24 centimeters higher than it should have been. Then we got another 2 centimeters of rain on Saturday, and I went back out today (Sunday) for a paddle at low tide, just to see what it looked like. It was similar to Friday; maybe even a little higher because of the recent rainfall. Everything is so saturated now, I’d expect the creek to stay high for several more days, at least.<\/p>\n

I’m going to find some mud to play in before winter, even if I have to mix it myself. My biggest fear is that this year is a harbinger of things to come. I know I have had months of frustration in the past with catching a low tide, but this entire year has been very wet and the tides have been really unpredictable. I guess I should be happy that I finished my Making of a Mud Movie movie. It wasn’t easy to get the last couple shots I needed. There were days when I had 20 minutes to shoot before the rising tide covered the mud.<\/p>\n

In case anyone is concerned, the storms didn’t really have much impact where I live. We got a lot of rain, but just enough to be a major inconvenience. We didn’t get the flooding that South Carolina got.<\/p>\n

I’m going to find somewhere to get muddy while the weather is still mild. I’m really anxious to shoot something awesome, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
