Along the Slough

. 

I wrote about our day at Moss Landing, 

but there was a bit more to add to the day.  

We like to drive home along Elkhorn Slough.  

Lots of birds 

and there's just something about the marshes 

that I love.

There's a long path that follows the shore

(and as always,

And of course there are birds,

Egrets,

It was a truly perfect day,
