In the Marsh by allie912

In the Marsh

Now that I'm home and have looked through all the photos on our trip, I hate to leave them buried on my computer, so I think I will choose some from the hundreds to share for the next few days.
This was taken in Swampscott, MA. I don't have the chance to see cat tails often so I took several pictures of them growing in the marsh along the path to the beach.
I havent seen a cat tail in a very long time!! Looking forward to seeing your other pictures!

thank you for the comments on my pictures and the words of support! :)

I love cat tails! When I was young, we used to insulate our forts with cat tail fluff in plastic bags! This is a great shot!

I think we are going to have a huge crop of gorgeous cattails this Fall -- I'm so glad that you are going to share some of your vacation photos with us. I think its a terrible shame for the beautiful or meaningful photos to stay in the computer with no one to appreciate their beauty.

Great shot! I love cat tails, and since we have them all over the marshes back home on Cape Cod, they always make me think of home.

Like you, I was taken with the cat tails when we began to come up here in the summer...they're everywhere and I love their simple beauty.

The spot you describe where your brother lives sounds idyllic! Yours (and our) vacation sites make for wonderful photos and memories. Southern California simply isn't anything like that!

great shot. I haven't seen cat tails in a very long time. By the way, I loved your comment on Louise's photo:
" I am not complaining because what other profession gives you a fresh start every year!" Thanks for the reminder! It really is a beautiful thing to have a fresh start every year. I'd just like to delay it by one week. We start back August 26 this year!

Really, is this called a cattail? How nice. I like this photo.

Viking Days sound interesting. Are they having Scandinavian food and maybe thet are singing songs in Finnish?

love the rich green with just the one cattail hanging out here!

Not really sure about cat tails.. But love the colour in this picture!

This is beautiful! There's a patch of cat tails I pass every day on my walk... my daughter loves to take them apart and make an amazing amount of fluff from them. Hey - just noticed that you're so close to having posted 365 pictures! Amazing! Congratulations!
