Lincoln Marsh, Mid-October: The Storm and The Boardwalk

Today was an auspicious visit to the marsh.

There was a large storm fixing to blow, and there were already raindrops by the time I got out of the car and began snapping.

This dirty, fallen crabapple on cinder pretty much summed up the foreboding scene:

Then I saw leaves begin to fly off a tree.

I hopped in front of it and snapped away as the leaves blew with great force.

I pushed on in raindrops, protecting my lens in my jacket. Then I got the first glimpse of the new boardwalk that dramatically changed my marsh vista:

I was dubious. But it gave me a new view into the thick-mud water:

The clouds cleared when I spied the other new boardwalk:

Which gave a great look into moss-mud:

I left the bent reeds to themselves, knowing more closely that everything changes, always.
