Time Lapse Video Of The Salt Marsh At Low Tide

Here is a 51 second time lapse video I took tonight overlooking the salt marsh at low tide.

Watch as the tide starts to come back in and covers over the oyster beds and the entire marsh area with water.

Also see the clouds as they move through the area.

Look carefully in the center, right, portion of the water at 28 seconds and you can see an alligator zipping through. Of course the gator was moving slowly but the time laps speeds up his movement.

Also take note of numerous wood storks and egrets that were busy feeding in the marsh.

  1. This is a great time-lapse!!! Somehow I missed what you had written and I was wondering if that was an alligator passing through. I was happy to read your notes and find out it was a gator. There is a lot to see in that 51 seconds! I love watching the water come up and the birds come and go! My mother is going to love this! When we talk on the phone, one of us will ask the other “Have you seen what Phil posted today?” Thank you so much for sharing. It’s like getting a gift every day (and sometimes more than one gift a day)! Your work gives us something fun to talk about! Thank you again and again!

    • Wow Carol I greatly appreciate your kind words and I’m so happy to hear that you and your mom are enjoying the photos and videos.
      And good on you for spotting that alligator before realizing that’s even what it was! 🙂

  2. Phil, I love your time lapses. They let me take a mini trip while at work. I especially liked the gator zipping through this one. Tell Alice I said Hi.
