I’ve been homesick for swamps the past week or so, so I went out and found some muck this afternoon. Snail Lake certainly isn’t a swamp, and neither are the marshes and bogs we have up here, but I felt better afterwards.

I took the camera along because I think I’m too dependent on that creamy Minnesota summer light. It’s easy to make photographs in that golden stuff. Today was cloudy, flat light, just like almost every damn day for the past week. So flat light and muck — I wanted to see what I could do with that. I made a lot of terrible shots, but there were a few that I think are decent enough to flickr.
