Every One Needs Their Own Spot
This may be one of my favorite spots
in the tri-county area where we live!
Giant dead cottonwoods
just buying time here...
I've shot this scene many times
and had a lot of fun
retouching the images...
maybe I'm trying to
bring these poor trees
back to life!
These old trees have
been a summer home to the cormorants...
I hate seeing them slowly
disappear!
I hate to see the
poor birds return to
less and less branches!
Every spring they return...
Every spring there are less branches
to return to....
I wonder if they are
worried about their spot?
And if they worry about
their grand-children's spots?
This much water has not ALWAYS been here...
For years it's been called Rempfer Slough...
The cottonwoods were once giant and healthy,
and at the deepest point it was a jungle of cat tails
and a muddy refuge to any wild life which dared to hide out!
then,
The rains came ...
(now we refer to it as Rempfer Lake)
the cormorants found the water
and the water took the trees.
NATURE is such a cycle!
Humans need to pay attention
to the cycle!
We are also buying time here
and need to protect what is not ours!
My heart goes out to all
of the poor souls forsaken
by tornadoes and floods!
Tonight, I hope you are with a roof over
your head and someone to call friend!
