This is a result of the current hot weather, Anne. The marsh levels are dropping quickly now.

This is what happens on the marsh during long, hot dry spells. South Pool sometimes turns from a body clear standing water to a mud pool, then to a dried-out area of cracked soil, and finally to an area of lush vegetation. Nature adapts.
