A Desert Pond




This pond in Lower Sabino Creek doesn't last the entire year, drying up during the
driest portions of the year. Still, this spot will have water well after the creek
has stopped flowing. Any water in the arid desert Southwest is precious and this
gallery attempts to capture images of the various wildlife seen here. Updates added
frequently and will be at the begining of the gallery.

My oldest and I will be in Tucson next Thursday (coming down to see Wilco at UofA). We'll be driving up Mt Lemon on Friday. I just might have to stop at Sabino too.
