Mojo said...: This ... marsh? Swamp? is in the neighborhood where I lived from between the ages of about 3 and 12. As far as I can recall, there was no swamp there at the time, just a creek that ran under the bridge I took this shot from. We used to hang out under that bridge during the summer to escape the heat, so I'm pretty sure if there'd been a swamp right next to it we'd have noticed it.

In any event, it's there now... complete with a variety of waterfowl.

It's not the nicest part of town -- never was -- so I was tempted to insert a punch line here. But marshlands are an important part of the ecosphere and I'm happy to see this one being preserved.; 1/05/2009 5:09 PM

I would expect no less.; 1/05/2009 8:07 PM

Thanks again for your services this weekend, the photos are great!; 1/05/2009 8:21 PM

Isn't it fascinating how nature can creep in and make itself apart of our lives.

Thanks for sharing this photo and background info.; 1/06/2009 10:18 AM
