Who ever heard of a dry swamp? Usually around this time of year, I like to walk down my road to this little undeveloped lot that is under water and covered with beautiful lush green ferns. I like to take pictures of it. So down the trail I went.



Huh? Where is all the water? Where are all the ferns?





Today I carried my SMLE and my .22 revolver. This large hollow tree is usually surrounded by water.





These are the dead dry stalks of last year's ferns. It has been too dry.



So back out to the road and home I walked.

At least a few Fiddlehead Ferns are starting to grow in my yard.

I did a little wood splitting and cut some curls with the Scrap Muk.

Rain is supposed to be on the way. That will green things up and bring out the ferns. Maybe I'll carry my new Busse HG55LE next time and get some decent pictures.

Thanks for sharing, some of us cant get out so its nice that you share. Man I hope that the rain comes real soon for you!

Is that a rainwalker sheath in his new coyote brown?

Yes, it sure is, and it fits perfectly.

Nice pics and sheath! We could use some rain, too. Next month, maybe.

That Muk is the sweetest knife I ever had from The Yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

I use mine for EVERYTHING!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I only wish I had a sheath for mine too Vic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

But I NEVER forget ... Good things come to those who wait! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

Jeff... fingers bleeding yet? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Peace.

It is much more beefy and substantial than the pics indicate. I broke a nice knife batoning this maple, and the Muk just breezed right through it. It's a great all-around knife, even if it is a little different looking.

We got a little rain a few days ago.

The BIG rain that the Weather Channel predicted for us was just a little shower. They need to stop all that global warming scare crap and hire some good forecasters!

Thanks for sharing the pics and your walk-about. I noticed last week when I was out a lot of the little streams and ponds are dry, of course that makes sense here since we are in a drought of sorts.

The MUK does shine nice in the woods, and I got to say I love that little Smitty you got with you.

eesh! I'm in the panhandle and we're flooded!

Nice pics HD, Its raining hard here in Augusta now, so you should be getting it soon.
