This September is very dry, but we hope that our wetlands will look like this again one day.

Swaying in the sunlight, tendrils of Spanish moss are ruffled by a light sea marsh breeze. Fun fact: This air grown plant is not actually a moss, but rather a bromeliad and relative of the pineapple.

Made it out to the swamp last night. There was already a crew out there fly fishing, but I still managed to land a couple on some jiggy streamers.

how's this?

she's got eyes that it seems to me
are green like the slime of a-a-lgae
where lil frogs and the newts
keep on passin' by

why the fens that surround this place
don't rise up and lay this town to waste
reclaiming that boggy land
swampin' under a foggy sky

whoa, oh-oh
dank bog o'mine
whoa, oh-oh-oh
dank marsh of mine

Just a bit wind-ruffled.

Big stretch … a female Anhinga extends her neck, showing off her expandable throat pouch, as she raises her wings to the side and grips the end of a dead scrag with her feet.

HAPPY #SWAMPTEMBER!

#Wetlands are the most unappreciated & reviled of ecosystems. But wetlands are amazing sponges which soak up #stormwater to prevent flooding, are home to rare #plants, & are the largest #carbon sinks of any ecosystem, acre for acre.

Celebrate the #beauty of swamps, their #ecological value, & their #economic benefits all month long - & get ready to celebrate #Bogtober, #Fenuary, & #MarshMadness.
