Railing/Fence

 Boardwalk with railing, Plum Island, Massachusetts

The nature reserve on Plum Island must be fabulous during the spring bird migrations as it was a pleasure in late June when I was there. I wish I'd had more time to spend there.

Steep walkway down

I loved the lichen growing on some of the decaying trees.

  1. yes I looks like it would be a fantastic place in spring when the trees did not hae so many leaves and you could see the birds better. Love the boardwalk and it certainly needs that rail.

  5. That is the longest boardwalk I've ever seen, don't think my achy breaky knees could cope with those steps though!

  7. Nice photos. The boardwalk and the surroundings blend well together. Glad you were going downhill. My carriage would have to be waiting at the end.

  10. My sister lived for a time on Plum Island. Always thought it was a humorous name for an island. Few plums too, I bet. Too cold.

  11. What an interesting walkway. Must have taken some great effort to build it.

  13. Both of my daughters live on Plum Island! It is a beautiful place. Did you know that Rachel Carson (Silent Spring author) spent quite a bit of time at that reserve?

  24. Very reminiscent of the 1001 Steps in my neck of the woods that leads to watery view. A chorus of birds and whistling trains are sometimes heard amid the greenery. But many folks go down up and down the stairs just for the exercise!

  25. I love the walkway but sure don't want to be on it without the fence! Neat selection for Good Fences!

  26. Neat find but ones who are out of shape. Sure need to take deep breaths in and out slowly for this walking journey.

  37. Boardwalks are wonderful and we're fortunate to have a lot of them in Florida - through swamps over mangrove islands across sand dunes - great fun and this looks like one I would enjoy a lot.
