Hewitt Park - Dry River

Here was the Hewitt Park river in April...

And here it is now...

Below is a poor crawdad we found...all dried up.  I wish we could have seen this little guy alive, when the river was full.

When did this river dry up?  We hadn't been down
to it in a while but it doesn't seem that long.

Even the recent rains didn't seem to have moistened the ground.

But there was a mosquito pond a little ways up,
all stagnant but buzzing with dragonflies.

I hope we get the river all the way back soon.
