The air, especially after a rain, carries a clean, earthy fragrance, hinting at the proximity of tidal marshes and the rich, dark soil that has sustained generations. Even on a bright afternoon, a hushed quality pervades, as if the very light itself pauses, softened by the overarching canopy of leaves and the distant, murmuring presence of the water.
