This photo contained such a nice sized area of bare muddy ground, that I decided to upload it in its full size, 4320 x 3240 instead of the 1600 x 1200 size I had shrunk all the other pictures down to. That way, if you want to use it for backgrounds, you have the option to crop smaller parts out for different sub-backgrounds, which will still be a good size. Shot at 2:56 PM:
Now that things were nice and quiet and I hadn't heard any shots in some time, I felt almost ready to do my video. But first, just to make sure the coast was clear, I jumped on my bike, and headed down the trail in the direction of Crescent Road to make certain whoever was target practicing was gone, but only close enough to the road to feel things were safe. But, just as I was heading southward in that direction, a truck came towards me from behind!

My patch of thick, treacherous, bottomless quagmire before I was ready to shoot my sink! You can see how the freezing and thawing has created an interesting surface texture. Shot at 3:15 PM:
My patch of thick treacherous, bottomless quagmire after I shot my sink, had an off-camera sink, and had mushed it up all over. I tried my best to mush up the delicate mat of surrounding vegetation on some of the edges to expand it, but intense leg cramps limited my ability to really break up some of the submerged mat on the south portion of the east side. I enhanced the image to lighten the shadow a bit, and to reduce the glare of the sunlit background. Shot at 4:45 PM:
After I called it a day and was leaving, when I reached the entrance to my Crescent Road pond trail, I was shocked to see that it was all littered with pieces of broken plastic, glass, shotgun shells, and some strange blue powder.
