Today is the first day of summer. I’ve been spending a lot of time in the wilderness; although not so much in the swamp, since the tides have been unworkable for mud. I still have a few videos to edit and release, but I haven’t been editing much. It’s easier for me to shoot because I can do that while I’m out where I feel most at peace. I guess I’m just a lonely old man, hoping I’ll eventually find that spot where the ground swallows me and I’m never heard from, again.<\/p>\n\n\n

The images I used for this blog entry are frames from some video I shot last night (June 20) in the forest, just before sunset. I was exploring some very interesting looking marsh. Sadly, I didn’t find anything deeper than knee deep. It was also getting dark, so the video is pretty dark. I do like the look of the swamp in the waning light, but a little more light would have been helpful for shadow detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suppose it’s worth mentioning that I was wearing a new pair of cutoffs that fit me really well. Unfortunately, they make me look fat. \ud83d\ude09 I swear I haven’t been putting on weight, and all my adventures have been helping me stay fit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I sure hope you all are doing better than I am. I’m afraid, when I find that mud hole that swallows me, I won’t be around to share it with you. I’ll try to put up some more of this year’s videos before I go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
