The occasional high tide floods the marshes next to the Kennebunk Bridle Path and, as the water swirls off the Marsh as the tide falls, it leaves the marsh grasses in an interesting tosseled wave pattern. Right now the marsh Grass is as tall as I have ever seen it…fully living up to it’s local name of "salt hay", so the patterns are particularly bold. I zoomed out some on the Canon SX40HS to frame this section with the diagonal of the slightly higher, dryer ground. The reddish color there is shorter beach type grass and heather.
