Hey everyone - Go to Ramblingwoods.com to see her post on saving the amphibians! (My estuary shot works with her subject, so in addition to Wordless Wednesday, I hooked up with her Nature Notes peeps this week! This pic is of a "made" estuary along Tampa's new Riverwalk where they put in 'rip rap' and planted mangroves to make an estuary. I saw tons of wildlife!!)
I have also hooked up with Watery World! Esturaries are those great breeding grounds where fresh water meets salt water!
Nice picture! It totally looks like a natural environment!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Actually I had to get in really close to kind of clip the big ugly chunks of concrete. But the mangroves will cover those soon!
DeleteWonderful information about the estuary and a lovely photo. Thanks for sharing, have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI like to see us humans helping out nature as we can cause so many problems for it..This is a wonderful habitat for wildlife and does fit in with my post on amphibians. Thank you so much for linking up to Nature Notes and I hope you have a wonderful week Libby...Michelle
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of this location. Estuaries are amazing to photograph as they teem with lots of fauna and flora.
ReplyDeleteInteresting that an estuary can be deliberately made. It is heartening to know that it is there. I'll bet you've found some wonderful wildlife living in it, too.
ReplyDeleteNice shot, excellent framing with a beautiful sky reflected.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo, great to hear of habitats being created to encourage biodiversity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Celeste- I saw big fish, birds and live mollusks so nature is definitely crowding into the constructed estuary.
