"Gratitude Point," Napa-Sonoma Marshes, CA (2021)
The "Gratitude Point" sign overlooked a tidal marsh, often flooded, with Mount Tamalpais in Marin County in the background. The photo was taken in 2021, the sign has been removed.

Today for #MarshMadness I have a water stick bug, Ranatra linearis, which is also called a water scorpion, or the Germans call it a Stabwanze. They breathe underwater through the siphon tail, waiting patiently to snatch up their prey.
