Day 273 - a Year by the Sea

The marsh is many things but for me most of all, it is the foxtails flashing silver in the breeze. Phragmites is invasive and although it provides cover for many species, it is often considered a noxious invader like Japanese Knotweed. There is some opinion that some Phragmites are a North American subspecies which means that is actually a native and not an outsider. I’ll leave the technical debate to the experts. What I have is delight when the wind blows and the foxtails are new and silvery.

Ciao!
