Some of them were still there today! :D

It's much easier to wade upstream - the silt and sand you kick up is more likely to cloud where you were than were you were going. Today, I went the correct direction. The day I took these... not so much! x-D

I couldn't believe how big that clam was! All these tiny little clamshells, and that dude is just ginormous! He closed while I was getting the camera ready... guess he was a little shy! :loveeyes:

My toes love it down there! :D

Photo: 03-379/10/24report

So should I lay on the bed with the boots on when I get back from the river? :D

Photo: 03-399/10/24report

So much fun! :loveeyes:

Photo: 03-389/10/24report

I'll just dunk it in the river if it gives me trouble! x-D

The biggest problem with being a giantess, is knee high boots (like these) aren't quite knee high... and over-the-knee means knee high... and so on! I probably need to find some crotch high ones to get true thigh highs! x-D

Photo: 03-53 And then the battery died... the end!9/10/24report

I was just hoping the battery would last long enough to get the flooding pics! So glad I found the perfect depth for them, with the sinking mud underneath doing the flooding!

Photo: 03-47 But will it go in?9/10/24report

It went from dark and gray and rainy to so bright I couldn't see the screen to even realize the waterproof case had partially blocked the camera! But I had to try to get a smiley pic for my smile fans! :D

Photo: 03-45 A Mina in her river!9/10/24report

The water pressure around the boots felt incredible! :loveeyes:

Photo: 03-46 Now it's getting deep!9/10/24report

I so wish I could have been sending you those as they happened! Was thinking of you when I took them, though! :kiss:

Photo: 05-01 Rainy Day Walk9/8/24report

Of course! :loveeyes:

Photo: 05-11 Going in9/8/24report

Me, before heading out: "The boots have been in the rain before, so no big deal; but I'm not going in the river! And absolutely no mud! These are going to be my daily drivers!"
Me, on the trail: "I'm totally going in the river, and I bet I can find some great mud!"
My leggings: *rolling their eyes, because they met me before*
My boots: "Yay!!!!!111!"

Thanks! :kiss:

Wait, you can see into the future? :D

Photo: 03-119/8/24report

Definitely move in slow motion, and calves and ankles get a workout and a half! :love:

Photo: 03-10 Slow going, but exquisite!9/8/24report

Ugh! You and your spoilers! I suppose you *think* you already know about the remaining photos over the next two days, hmmm? And then the return trip I have planned as soon as I recover and regain my strength? Well, I'm not going to hint about them, that's for sure! ;P

Photo: 03-12 Muddy boots9/8/24report

This probably really would have benefitted from video... then you'd realize how long it takes to move each foot! :D

Photo: 03-09 ...and after effort, a third9/8/24report

Half a dozen years since I last visited the spot, and it still exceeds expectations! :loveeyes:

Photo: 03-08 Making my second move9/8/24report

Thank you! :kiss:

Photo: 03-04 The slow approach...9/8/24report

Tease? I hadn't even moved from 03-05! This is studiously documenting the gloriousness of this mud! x-D

Photo: 03-06 Another angle9/8/24report

I'm always a fan of the slow and gradual wam experience! :splosh:

The mud around it was... *chef's kiss* :loveeyes:

Photo: 03-03 Irrigated mud!9/8/24report

There were still a few more patches of rain, but three hours or more of rain ended a little bit before I took this! x-D

Just a little wading... so far...

Photo: 05-139/8/24report

Their first time in the river; when I wore them last year, it was a very rainy day! :splosh:

Photo: 05-129/8/24report

No, they're... more than a year old, because I wore them last September to some highland games. The new boots I was breaking in will have to wait... the heel is low, and chonky... but my ankle is still messed up from that pinched nerve aftermath. :love:

Photo: 05-11 Going in9/8/24report

Thanks! :kiss:

That, and the squishy gunk was fun to step in! :D

Thank you! :kiss:

It wasn't the deepest puddle, or even the muddiest... but it was the most photogenic! x-D

Photo: 05-04 After lunch walk9/8/24report

The walk was great! 2 miles, 2 turtles, lots of smol puddles to splash in! :loveeyes:

Photo: 05-03 ...and this wet after 2 miles9/8/24report

I agree! :love:

It was wonderful! :kiss:

Photo: 02-48 Coverage9/7/24report

Harley: I haven't been back to this particular spot since - water level is lower, but it should still be fun... but wait until you see the mud I "found" today! One of my favorite spots downriver, that I haven't been too for a few years! I might try to go back tomorrow, with more battery. And also to get some pics sitting on the rocks way out in the river! :kiss:
