On Friday, August 9'th, I had my third outing of the season, where I returned to my Crescent Road pond for the second time this season. Just as I had hoped, the two week wait resulted in a definite drop in the water levels, with my sinking spot, which got submerged after disturbing it back on July 26'th, being exposed again! :D There was still some water on the east side, and a lot of the mud was still quite soggy on top, but it was way better than I had last saw it! :) I had a nice dramatic sink and escape there in front of the camera, and then afterwards, off-camera, spent a while submerged with swim goggles and a breathing hose, then just brief submergences without the hose, then lingering with my mouth exposed, then my face exposed, and then crawling over the entire area. This time, unlike last time, all surface water disappeared with the activity, leaving the entire bog with hardly any water on top, quite a difference from how I had left the bog last time! :D Here are 25 pictures of interesting looking spots around the area, including my main sinking spot, shot that day:

Pictures 1-5:

A mucky area amongst the grass:

A look at my sinking spot, re-exposed again, with only a little bit of water left. Something small went through it, leaving a trail through the mud on the east side (side closest to the pond):

A close-up view of the muddy area. Does it look like a treacherous patch of bottomless sucking quagmire? Try jumping in, and you would find out! :twisted:

2013 08 09 3C Crescent.JPG



Another view of the "innocent-looking" :twisted: patch of wet muddy ground, with the tiny animal trail clearly visible:

The patch of "innocent-looking" :twisted: patch of wet muddy ground after I jumped out onto it, got sucked under, and escaped, on video!

Three views of the mushed-up patch of quagmire after I did some more playing in it. Doesn't it look inviting?

Pictures 21-25 (the last of the day):

Another picture of bare, wet, mossy ground on the northeast region of the pond:

2013 08 09 3U Crescent.JPG



After that was when I had an enjoyable sink with swim goggles and a breathing hose. There wasn't time for a separate shorter session for video. But, here are a few pictures of my sinking spot after that, at the end of the day. As I mentioned before, doesn't it look inviting?

2013 08 09 3V Crescent.JPG

2013 08 09 3W Crescent.JPG



A low, close-up view of my patch of sucking quagmire. Towards the lower left, you can see the impressions in the surface that were left by my breathing hose:

2013 08 09 3X Crescent.JPG



One last picture of some mossy ground on the eastern part of the northern part of the pond:

On Thursday, August 22'nd, I had my fourth outing of the season, where I not only visited my Crescent Road pond, but also another pond off Crescent Road on the way there, which was hidden in the woods, and full of sticks/branches and liquid mud, which I would check out on the way to my Crescent Road pond from time to time. My original plan was to pick up a large black bucket that I saw laying around the trail entrance, and take it to my Crescent Road pond, which I would then use to transfer mud from surrounding locations to my sinking spot, raising its level enough to get it to become exposed and thickened earlier in the season (just raising it by one inch can make it exposed a week or so earlier than if nothing was done)! :D I was debating about whether to have a sink before or after the mud transfer, although I needed to go in after anyways, to mix in and redistribute the newly added mud.

But, this time when I visited the liquid mud and sticks pond, I noticed a fair bit of mud exposed, and I just couldn't resist the temptation to try it out! :D So, I wound up spending the morning there (most of the mud exposed was actually thicker, since the thinner stuff was still submerged), and the afternoon at my Crescent Road pond, where the mud had thickened nicely since my last sink there. :) So, I never had enough time to do any of my mud transfer, having to leave it until the next outing. Because I was visiting more than one area, in addition to shooting sinking/struggling footage in multiple places that I later merged together at home into a larger video plus one separate escape video, I also wound up snapping a substantial number of pictures, and am posting most of them, 38 photos, including a couple of another small boggy pond by Crescent Road across from the trail that led to the liquid mud and sticks pond. So, here they are:

Pictures 1-5:

Liquid mud and sticks pond with a lot of reflection of the surrounding forest on the water (the third is a bit blurry):

2013 08 22 4B Liquid Mud And Sticks Pond.JPG

2013 08 22 4C Liquid Mud And Sticks Pond.JPG



Some pix where I had tried to carefully stand on top of the thicker mud in my shoes, but it slowly gave way, expelling swamp gas as I stood there:

2013 08 22 4E Liquid Mud And Sticks Pond.JPG

My Thursday, August 22'nd photos continued - Pictures 16-20:

I then had my sinks, testing out 4 different parts of the shoreline in front of the camera for the video. Here are pix of the disturbed areas:

These three were taken after I finished shooting two sinks in two different spots:

This was taken after shooting my third sink:
