“And, sure enough, saturation begins--the staedy work of seeps and springs. Then, suddenly, cottonwoods and willows spring from the sand, their leaves gyrating into a byzantine mosaic of greens.

And as the water gathers substance, there is the ballet of tadpoles and water skeeters across the face of clear ponds.”
