I haven’t written much here lately, mostly because adjusting to Homecrest has been difficult for me. I haven’t met anyone here who shares my interests yet. Then again, I can be a little shy and self-protective like this guy.
Coincidentally, I noticed a salt marsh on Avenue U while on the way to the mall.
I took my son there last weekend during low tide. We were both endlessly amazed watching the little fiddler crabs, like the one above, dig in and out of the sand, race into the water and back to their homes again.
We walked further into the marsh, and watched a hotdoggin’ waterskier for a while. But then we found a car that had been driven in and left for dead in that marsh a long, long time ago. Completely rusted through, with barnacles and sedimentary rock encrusting the engine, we pondered the mystery for quite some time before walking back.
On our way back, we found out that there were official tours from The Salt Marsh Nature Center. If you need directions by car, tours, etc., that’s the link to click.
It was great fun for an hour. And free too.
