Day 143 - a Year by the Sea

graft.jpg

Someone has tried their hand at grafting and it looks successful. I’ve never actually seen this before. I know that most of our fruit, especially grapes, are grafted onto rootstock. This isn’t a backyard though. It’s right next to the edge of the marsh in a nice grassy stretch known as the Feeders (Easy guess why?). My guess is that it’s some sort of ornamental cherry. This is not far from the Osprey platform where there was some action today. A third osprey was driven off by the resident pair. One of them has been on the platform all the time lately which strengthens my hope that they are breeding. That would be so cool.

Ciao!
