well, really, it's a Florida coastal mud-flat shot from about 20 feet up.

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Hi Craig,

    This scene reminded me of those shots you see from satellites when they fly over river basin areas. This mud-flat you see is something I cross when walking on my pier toward the navigable-water dock at the end. At high tide, there's 4 feet of water covering the flat.

    That is the God-awfullest mud I've ever seen Tom. Looks more like a toxic waste site waiting for Super-Fund cleanup. :D

    Hey Jack,

    Well, you pretty well pegged it right. That's the real color of the stuff. Only myself and a few of my neighbors have this color of mud in front of their places...the rest of it along our stretch of land is more of the darker brown looking stuff.

    I fell off the pier and into this crap last year. I sunk into it about 1 1/2 to 2 feet. I couldn't climb out onto the pier ( too high ) and had to make my way through about 60 feet of it to reach shore. I went straight to my outside shower and spent a good 10 - 15 minutes getting clean. It doesn't particularly stink....other than having a typical marsh odor...but, by God, it clings to you like super glue. I didn't even try to clean my clothes...threw them all out.
