            I’ve learned to appreciate the sometimes stark beauty of the wetlands in early spring. They are not yet the lush green they will become in the summer but are nonetheless beautiful to me with their sinuous, blue pathways of water. I’ve painted this small tree or large bush before, as it stands out above the low-growing marsh grasses. This time, I gave the tree some company, not too far away, standing patient watch (sentinel) over the wetlands.

            Happy Weekend!

             At first glance, coastal wetlands in early spring appear a rather boring brown or beige. It’s only after a closer look that you’re able to see all the beautiful colors of these marsh grasses. Wetlands provide such a helpful service to us all, sheltering wildlife and also helping to buffer the effects of storms. These are truly precious areas worth protecting.

            Happy Weekend!

            On this, the first sunny day after what seems like countless gray, rainy days, I want to celebrate blue skies!  This is a late summer sky, with the sun setting in a blaze of color over a beautiful marsh.

            Happy Weekend!
