Default Marsh - Land

I drive by this area almost everyday .. today, pack the camera and decided to stop -

Marsh

A Visitor

Marsh

I was cutting my grass today and I accidently knock this poor flower off the plant ...so, I got a plastic cup - fill it up with water and - voila

Flower Saved

Nice shots, Hayward. I love the contrast between the lavender and the silver-green of the marsh and the texture of the deadwood in the background. The Queen Anne's Lace is one of my favorite flowers, and you've got a great reflection going in the last one. A very productive stop!

Hayward, you lucky man you...I would love to drive by that every day and it wouldn't take me long to figure out I needed to have my camera with me.
These shots are excellent...what a lovely place.

These are lump-in-the-throat good. Thank you for stopping--remembering your poem from the other day about fresh eyes.

Hayward it is always a pleasur to view your great photographs. You have brought out all the beauty of the marshes. The second one is amazing with the butterfly, and a big Wow to the last one, the colour of the flower is gorgeous.
Lovely work as usual Hayward. So pleasing to the eye.

Dave.
