The marsh is blooming. It’s like a feast for the animals and insects who live there and come to get something to eat. There’s more water in the marsh than usual because of all the rain we’ve been getting. There are as many frogs as apples this year.

Gorgeous! Makes me want to just lie in the grass and look up at the sky. 🙂 So peaceful.

They DO look pretty but I believe the purple ones are the invasive Purple Loosestrife which are so destructive to wetlands. Pink Sweet Joe Pyeweed is a good native plant to get started there; the flowers are favoured by butterflies and the seeds by American Goldfinches.
There are so many invasive plants in the wild.
Wonderful! Marshes are such an important and diminishing ecosystem. Here in the country where I live there are many natural and untidy edges, fields and meadows. You have nice diversity in your marsh! Beautiful!
I appreciate it more all the time Lois. When we first moved here I worried about too many mosquitos. I’ve learned so much just from being near the marsh, mosquitos are a human problem and are just a part of all the wonderful animals and insects who benefit from the marsh.
Hi Maria, I saved this beautiful photo you took which looks like a painting! It is so refreshing to all of us in California while our state is burning and so many of our beautiful pines and wildlife gone. Thank you. Have to add the wonderful dancing dog video was so awesome. My husband said “bow WOW!
I’m glad to be able to do that Joan. I wish you all the best, I can’t even imagine what you must be going through. Take good care.
