Looking forward to Spring

There is a huge diversity of plant life in the marsh at Belle Haven Park.  The peninsula is between two marshes along the Potomac River.

In May the marsh explodes in growth.

These above closeups were taken from the bridge

On the other side of this small bridge is another marsh, and a marina beyond that, with the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge, being built in the distance

Nice variety of marsh plants!
 

Here is a video of the marsh.  The sound of the Red Winged Blackbird is on the video and at the end of the 2.5 minute video there are some closeups of the birds singing.

You can hear the planes in the background as it is close to Ronald Reagan National Airport

Cheers!
