Nature's Recycling

New Year's Eve day we went kayaking to one of our favorite spots. After launching from a creek in one of the marshes, we go out into the sound. Then we go around an island and back into the marshes.

After a storm about five years ago, we found a wrecked paddle boat back on one of the creeks in the second marsh. Over the years, we have watched it slowly disintegrate. This past trip, just two days ago, a family of hermit crabs had made their home in the paddle boat. Slowly, the paddle boat is being turned back into its natural components.
