Salt marsh grasses, likely Spartina alterniflora, spread in golden-tan swaths across the middle ground of this Francis Marion National Forest marshland vista. Dark blue tidal water dominates the foreground with fine wind-driven ripples, contrasting against the warm ochre and straw tones of the sedge and cordgrass. A dense treeline of pine and mixed hardwoods forms a deep green band along the horizon beneath a clear, graduated blue sky. Late afternoon light rakes across the marsh, emphasizing the coarse texture of the grasses, while an overhanging leafy branch frames the upper left corner of the composition.
