Day 364 - a Year by the Sea
December 30, 2007 by OrientSee.
A palm leaf fan. The spartina grass has been flattened by the weather and snow. The warmth of the last few days melted away all the snow except for a thin coat of ice. This ice fan is the result. There are small sheets of ice covering the puddles on the pathway and the result is the same broken glass glare. Everywhere today there were ice sculptures. My adventure of the day involved the great sucking marsh beast. If you don’t pay attention, it is possible to take a leg encased in rubber up to the knee and plunge it into soft mud that will not relinquish its grip. Then as you begin to fidget in alarm, the marsh muck and cold water cascade down your leg to your suddenly very cold feet. At that point, with great determination the hardy explorer can plop down on his butt and slowly lever the whole stinking mess out of the mud. It was not my best Indiana Jones moment. Still, it was a good walk today.
Ciao!
