Description

...as a child growing up in the carolinas, I fell in love with salt marshes..they inspired me to become a marine biologist...

...these marshes represent the beginning of life for most of the marine creatures in my part of the world... fish, crabs and shrimp...the grass (smooth cord grass) is the heart...this is one of my favorite images...the beginning of life, at the beginning of light...
