East Meadow River Marsh: Haverhill, Massachusetts. A beautiful, unspoiled and undeveloped piece of nature that became my photographic project for the entire year of 2014. Busy Rt. 110 literally crosses over it on its way from Rt. 1 in Salisbury west through Haverhill and on.
Every week (I missed a few, I admit) I stopped by the marsh with my camera. As the year went on I felt a growing sense of propriety. "My marsh" I would say to friends.
Here it is! My last blog post for the year - November and December. Look back at the other marsh posts and vote for your favorite by leaving a comment!

December - will there be snow or a deep freeze? Wish I could string holiday lights from branch to branch! Or tie glitzy bows around the trunks. What am I saying? I love this marsh exactly as it is!

I will cast the first vote. I vote for May! I loved the changes that happened so rapidly in that month. What do you think? Vote! What was your favorite month at the marsh?
