my evening walk at the Suisun City Marsh, one of California’s largest wildlife conservation areas.

Taken around 6 p.m. on my iPhone 15 during an evening walk in the Suisun Marsh, this image captures the reflective slough and expansive sky of California’s largest contiguous estuarine marsh. The last light of the day softly illuminates the grasses and water as they merge, embodying the quiet transition between land, water and sky.
