Day 29 March 20, 2010


This was a perfect First Day of Spring day. It was just warm enough, and the colors were wonderful. This is the Nisqually Estuary where dikes were built in order to farm the land years ago. Last spring the dikes were breeched to allow the land to go back to nature and to re-create the salt water marshes. Already the wild life is repopulating the area. While I miss the 5.5 mile walk on the dikes the views now are spectacular. We thought the tide seemed to be going out but weren't sure. You can see how close to the twin barns the water is now. It will be fun to watch the area develop over time!
