Life at the Annapolis Royal Marsh: Inconspicuous beauty

Inconspicuous beauty

The other day I noticed a small patch of Deptford pinks alongside the trail just past the entrance. I'm amazed at the proliferation of plant life that has sprung up along the trail since it was created eight years ago. At that time all the vegetation I recall is a mass of blackberry canes. The tiny blossoms of this attractive plant are no more than 1cm across.

How to Post a Comment

It seems there's some confusion as to how to make a comment, so I hope these directions make it easier (I like getting feedback).

Step 1: Under any posting, click on "O comments" (or "1 comment" or "2 comments", whatever the case may be). A new window will open, titled "Post a Comment" above a big blank space.

Step 2: Under the big space you'll see "Comment as" followed by a small space with a little blue box at the right end with a "v" in it. Click on the "v", and a menu will drop down.

Step 3: Click on "Name/URL" in the menu, and another window will open, titled "Edit profile". Enter your name, and ignore the URL part. Click "Continue".

Step 4: Write your comment in the big box.

Step 5: Click "Post Comment" (or you can click "Preview" first if you want to edit your comment before posting)

That's it! 'Hope to hear from you.
