I slogged through deep mud in the orchard right after heavy rains. I thought several times I was going to go down and probably should have taken a tripod, or something, to help me pull my boots out of the mire. I couldn't find a rest and couldn't hold it well enough to sharpen the foreground trees the way I would have liked, so I took what I could get. Funny how you remember such details after so many years.
