Gallery 452 (Jan 29, 2014). There was a big tree root in the middle of a drained pond. Emily wanted to climb on this root, that much was sure! But before that, she still had to overcome some obstacles. The shore area was quite sticky (as usual), so every step was demanding. And the further she went into the pond the sloppier became the mud — and the deeper. As you see, she has successfully mastered her first Wader adventure and was rightly proud when she climbed the root! (60 pictures and 6:08 min video in the members area).
