Day 108 - a Year by the Sea
April 18, 2007 by OrientSee.
The weather is still nasty but going out was more tantalizing. The continuing flux of northeast winds and moisture have damped everything down with shades of gray and the constant growling of the wind. The marsh has a very limited color palette right now, mostly shades of dry vegetation, straw yellows mostly. The addition of water has changed that. The wetness has soaked into everything and suddenly these vivid colors leap into your eyes. This is a dead branch which I have walked by dozens of times in the last few months. I never paid it any attention. Now it’s wet and the red scale screams out. The intensity is magnified by the drab bark beneath. Nearby by some trees turned iridescent green and others got red splotched bark that looked like the hide of an alien carnivore. So a dull walk turned into a delight.
Ciao!
