Mudville
Malibu turns into a mud flat after a rain. Thick and sticky, it clings to the soles of your shoes, forms fat rounded pads that add inches to your height. Here in Paradise Cove, where a major overhaul of the septic system is slowly taking place, work areas became sink holes. The puppy took an incautious step and vanished in mud up to her chin. She's quick and strong and freed herself in an instant. Not so nimble was this pumper truck. It took two backhoes and a few hours to set it free.
Also worth a second look was today's sunrise.
