Neary Lagoon Santa Cruz City Park, Tule Marsh in Fall, October

From the floating walkway, one has fine views of the water fowl pathways through the tule reeds at Neary Lagoon. I wanted the reflection of sky in the rippled water to contrast with the warm earth reflections of the fall tules with their seeded heads. Harvested tules, throughout California lagoons were used by Native Americans for a variety of purposes, including the construction of houses, canoes, baskets, and clothing.
