The presence of lizard’s tail, a wetland plant, suggests that this swale between remnant dunes should be a rather wet location. But it was quite dry when I captured this scene during the drought year of 2012. See Duckweed Slough for a view after the rains returned in 2014. Painted in the studio, April, 2012.
