Day 361 - a Year by the Sea
December 27, 2007 by OrientSee.
These blocks of ice are left over from the last cold spell. They are in fact lawn mowers. As the tide lifts the blocks and the wind along with the current moves them, the blocks shear the grass off. The result is a sort of cut and mashed grass stew. It’s not very appetizing to humans but to the bacteria living in the salty tidal water, it’s soup. They thrive on it. The shellfish thrive on the bacteria and the other ingredients of the stew. The fish eat them. The ducks and geese eat the fish and shellfish. After all that, I get to watch them all. I feel very grateful to these lawn mowers.
Ciao!
