Volunteer Effort

Today's photo is of one of the volunteers at Saturday's Marsh Mania event put on by the Galveston Bay Foundation. The volunteers made quick work (2 hours) of planting cord grass on the twenty or so man made islands in Burnet Bay near the San Jacinto Battleground. I really like the perspective of this shot and was glad in the end that I let myself put my camera much closer to the water than I was comfortable with!

Here are a couple more shots from the Galveston Bay Foundation (GBF) event this weekend. The first shot is of part of the heavy machinery used to build the islands that were to be planted on the day of the event. The second shot is another shot of the grass the islands were planted with.
