How Natural Are We?
Briefly

The creek transforms with the seasons; winter offers serenity in freezing waters, spring revives life with swarming fish, while summer brings lively currents and vivid ecosystems.
In summer, the water's warmth creates a biofilm on the surface, reflecting life underneath. The presence of ospreys soaring above adds to the creek’s vibrant ecology.
Swimming in the creek feels like gliding through liquid glass, the tranquility broken only by the sounds of nature, from lapping waves to buzzing insects, marking each season.
The interaction with the creek is both intimate and challenging; the sharp edges of seagrass in spring can leave marks on skin, a reminder of nature's wild beauty.
