Salt Marsh

This is one of the images that I made while cycling in he Parker River Wildlife Refuge on Plum Island last week. I really need to go out another evening with a zoom lens. The evening brings in many more birds than one sees during the day and the light is amazing.

Beautiful. I plan to visit. Are there many pesky black flies this time of year?

There were some but I was there at dusk, which may have contributed to it. Get there before the green headed flies are out. I think Newburyport has a n art festival of some sort this weekend. Cheers 🌼

Beautiful! May I ask “salt marsh” – was this a salt pan before it became a river? Or what is a salt marsh?

A marsh is low lying land that routinely floods. In this case, it floods with salt water from the ocean. I don’t think it was ever a salt pan.

This is fabulous, Chris 🙂
First I thought that you post a painting… I wonder how it looks in the light of sunset or morning.
Mo-hugs and kisses ❤

Hello, Ms. Mo-hugs. Thank you. This was close to sunset. The sun was going down just to the right of the image. I’m glad you like it. Cheers 🌼

  Oh, yeah, I understood, Chris. I was talking about a red-orange sky 🙂 You know what I mean…
  Cheers!

  That would be cool. We did not have that kind of color that night. But it makes me think I should learn the type of weather that makes that color. Cheers

Great shot. Love how you framed it with the water leading you off into the horizon.
