Murky Waters, Murky Skies

  I will be the first to tell you that the waters of the Bayou are quite murky.  Hearing of the clear, bluish-green water of other places almost seems surreal to me since I have never witnessed that.  Our water is muddy and. at times, has a sort of golden tint due to clay that is washed down through the creeks.  We are accustomed to it but visitors are sometimes taken aback thinking it is polluted.  Nope, it is brackish.  There is a difference.  

  This morning, a heavy fog laid in across the Bay and Bayou almost entirely blocking out the sunrise.  When the sun did try to peep through, the best it could do was tint everything the same gold of the water.  Honestly, it was difficult to tell where one ended and the other began as the color was so similar.  Perhaps, we also have brackish fog!

  As far as I could tell, the only other critter out during this drippy mess was a lone crab sidling along under the pier.  He seemed to be just about as fogged out as I was.
