mucky

Now the water had become "mucky and cloudy" and "you can see build-ups of foam in a number of spots".

I waded a long way out, til the bottom grew mucky and seaweed tickled my legs, then submerged.

A digger tucked into the dumped piles and loaded a trailer, which was then pulled across a vast expanse of mucky wet ground by a tractor.

But I wonder how many other 23-year-olds get up every day at five in the morning for the mucky, and vital, job of milking?

In “New Heraldry,” Seattle artist Sara Osebold imagines a new world after “total collapse,” through canvas drawings and clay sculptures imprinted with mysterious, textlike symbols and ceramic fragments found in mucky Seattle creek beds.
