Best Laid Plans
I intended a purely formal study of shape, texture, and shadow, in this purely artificial setting. The stone wall, wooden bridge, waterfall, ponds and plants shown here in Wetlands Park at Riverstone were all installed &/or constructed from material brought in after stripping the site down to bare dirt, sculpting the land with bulldozers, covering it with impermeable clay to retain water for public enjoyment and flood control. Fungal and bacterial members of the community hitchhiked in on the planted plants, wild animals, transient wind and water. Birds, Nutria, Alligators, and I are not complaining about the artificiality, just expressing gratitude for the opportunity. Especially the photobombing juvenile Lesser Yellowlegs (I think), flashing his tail and fertilizing the pond.
Happy Sliders Sunday!
Happy Mono Monday!
