Day 276 - a Year by the Sea

October 4, 2007 by OrientSee.

Almost a moonscape. The little rain that we had last week did not help the many small ponds which are not tidal. This is the Muskrat Pond and it is bone dry. Well not quite. The bottom is just crusty enough to walk on but if you break through, it’s a deep mud puddle beneath. The Great Egrets and the Great Blue Herons are still hanging around but not much else. I accidentally surprised a young man by popping out of the reeds where he didn’t know a path was. He and I got to talking and it was great to hear from some one else that for him the marsh is a special island of calm in the busy city that surrounds it. It was nice to know that others appreciate the same qualities that I find here and enjoy. Parks and marshes are powerful places.

Ciao!

p.s. I had jury duty yesterday - no day 275.
