Belle Isle Marsh Reservation in East Boston, Massachusetts is Boston’s last remaining salt marsh. It is a family-friendly, dog-friendly (i.e. watch your step!), easy to traverse recreation spot. Because it is near the airport, there is often the interesting juxtaposition of a plane flying over as a white heron or mallard duck or any number of other seabirds look up at a fellow winged beast.

It is a regular hiking spot for Steve and I. I enjoy photographing the foliage in silhouette against the sky …

… and the end of season seeds and berries about to hit the ground.

He enjoys collecting juniper berries for one of his special sauces. 😉

You can read more about Belle Isle here. And, you may read more about Steve’s Juniper Berry Sauce in the near future. Yum. Meanwhile, have a good Monday, folks.
