Delightful and thoughtful blog with her photographs. Salt Marshes sinking for a number of reasons but like the delta below New Orleans and the Everglades swamps, the chief reason is our (humans) changing natural water, mineral and sediment/soil flows by building dams, highways, suburbs and watering lawns, as well as filling swimming pools and growing crops that use more water than natural flora.

From there I was able to explore on foot. I was alone, save for one mother and son hiking out during sunset. It wasn't exactly quiet however, as the birds and insects began their nightly songs. I could not believe a $2.25 metro card got me here in an hour, let alone that I was still in New York City. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/17C41B3E-4DA6-4A4D-B674-1F608E40E60D/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
