The Frozen Marsh and the Slanted Sun - Actifit: January 4 2022
I took a walk at a park I love with a creek running through and beautiful marshes all around. It had “warmed up” to 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and it was a lot more comfortable than the last few days when it hovered around zero.
If you have never walked through a frozen marsh, I highly recommend it. It is very serene, as the cattails lay in wait for the blackbirds and dragonflies to return in the spring.
The sun is at an odd angle this time of year, at least in the northern hemisphere. It slants across fields looking strangely pale and tentative, like it is just about to slip away.
But the good news is that it makes for excellent and slightly sinister long shadows.
Thank you so much for visiting! And a huge thanks to @wesphilbin for hosting #thoughtfuldailypost. Every day it reminds me to be thoughtful in my posts!

Your cattail we call bulrush here, love when they pop their seed it looks spectacular like little fairies finding new homes in the air.
Looks like you enjoyed a crunchy day underfoot outdoors taking in the sights and smells.

@joanstewart(5/10) gave you LUV.
Oh, you've just solved a mystery for me, @joanstewart. I had always wondered what bulrushes were, and I only knew they were some kind of marsh plant. Now that I know they are the same as cattails, that makes perfect sense! I love the image of the fairies floating about looking for new homes.
One and the same another international that lives on most marshlands or river banks, here some in the heat, used by the Southern red bishop to build his nest and one dispersing seeds.
