Description
Swamp Gas: The closest wetland to where I live is called the Mendota Slough. My husband grew up on the edge of it because his father worked on the local wildlife area, which encompasses the Slough. He still has a few pool customers there who knew him as he was growing up. Whenever I feel the need for fresh reference material, I talk him into taking me along on the pool truck and we stop there so I can use the camera. During the day, the Area is open to the public, so most of the wildlife takes cover, but at dusk and dawn sometimes, you can get a good shot of the native wildlife. In any case, just the scenery is beautiful and can be translated into wonderful paintings.
A wetland is a land area that is waterlogged, either permanently or seasonally, the key factor that sets apart wetlands from other land or water bodies is the undergrowth of aquatic plants. Wetlands play a number of roles in the environment, primarily water cleansing and flood control. Wetlands usually serve as home to a wide range of plant and animal life and occur naturally on every continent except Antarctica; the water found in wetlands can be freshwater, brackish, or saltwater. The foremost wetland types include swamps, marshes, bogs, and fens, Wetlands have unique characteristics: they are generally distinguished from other bodies of water or terrain because of their water level and the types of plants that live there. Specifically, wetlands are distinguished as having a water table that stands at or near the surface of the ground for a long enough each year to support aquatic plants.
