"Grabbing Black Glass before the Blood-Sucking Leaches get ya"
Good Morning all, The second day of my long-weekend and its going to get real hot later. Starting to get humid too and thunderstorm tomorrow. No point trying to hunt and dig the hard ground in these conditions.I remembered the local swamp had a huge washout during the heavy rain we had in the spring. Most rain ever recorded in this area. Like most water ways in any location a great place to throw your empty bottles. Being creatures of habit, and theres was plenty of oldies to be had. Gold miners work hard . drank hard.
Sound like me LoL Anyway i headed over to the swamp and went for a walk. With the full heat of the summer the swamp level is dropping quite quickly. Spotted a few modern brown glass and then a black glass. picked up and washed out the muck. No problem.
Walked down to shallow end where the vegitation gows in the water i spotted another. My hand was in the water no much more than a second. I noticed a sudden movement of black shapes coming in my direction. Just like 'Jaws', No music or sharp teeth just a pack of blood sucking leaches. "Quick" by the time i had the bottle out of the water some had all ready attached themselves to the glass. Flicked them of the glass with a stick. Yet i am kind of lucky as there is a very deadly bad tempered snake that lives in this swamp. Most deadly snakes usualy just go away but not the Tigersnake. Highly territorial and will even swim across a river to guard its claim. They don,t like the heat of the day and hunt at night. Still want to look where you put your feet when walking in the under growth.Heres a few pics of the black glass and my new freinds who invited themselves for lunch. Beening me Will post bottles after
