This shot won second prize in Digital Photography Review’s “Mud, Mud…Glorious Mud” challenge. I was really surprised when I found out about the prize because I forgot I entered the photo.
I took this in 2019 at Oliver Kelley Farm near the Twin Cities of Minnesota. It’s an actual working farm operated with tools and methods from the 1860s. Our whole family was there, including the grandkids, who thought this was hilarious and had a great time visiting all the gardens and animals on the farm. I couldn’t resist taking this photo because the mom and piglet look so relaxed and happy in all that goo.
You can pay a lot of money at a spa for the same thing.
