I was in Canada- hence the silence.
We have been very busy since I got back, but today we took friends to see Bense Marsh, a tourist spot about 30 minutes from our place. The wildflowers aren't out yet, so the marsh itself wasn't too exciting.
But we could hear the surf, so walked through the dunes to the nearby beach.
There are low clay cliffs along the shore.
And their unique feature is a layer of peat and very old wood- the "Buried Forest". In places there are large logs, even stumps like this one, embedded in the cliffs from some mysterious, ancient upheaval.
More recent additions are provided by passing cargo ships, wind-blown fishing equipment, and careless beachgoers. Will these plastic "artifacts" also become embedded in the cliffs to puzzle future generations?
