When we are suited up in chemical protection suits it is hard for me to bust out my cellphone and snap a picture. And considering the contaminated oil on my gloves I would not want to touch my cellphone, but here is a picture I took as we entered this hard boom area, you can clearly see the oil along the banks. If you look long the bottom of the marsh grass you can easily see the gathering oil building up on the bank. The yellow umbrella in the far center is a fan boat placing absorbent pads in the marsh ponds to collect the oil that has made its way inland from the rising tide. Taken July 2010
