This #wetlandwednesday, I'm reminded of why I write. These ecosystems deserve the world's attention, and not just when they're being drained to build someone's "dream home" (which is a bad idea anyway). 🙄🌊🔜🏡 This month's edition of Peatmail also covers the good news - like the unionization of federal workers at Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks! 🌳⛰️🎉 If you're interested, please subscribe 😊

I’m honor of #WetlandWednesday here is an old cellphone shot of a #turtle and a #gator sharing a log on a sunny day.

This photo was taken during a #kayak trip out on Shell Bank Bayou, which connects old US 51 to #LakeMaurepas.

If I remember correctly, we didn’t make it all the way to the lake because the bayou gets narrow and shallow and the vegetation became a bit too much to trudge through. Maybe I should try again sometime…
