watching water
flow over the dam
from the little creek
now a lake
soon to be
a creek again —
a journey to ponder
. . . is it just water over the dam?

When the Sabino Creek Dam was built during the 1930’s the resulting lake was 30 feet deep. Over time sediment has been collected behind the dam. The cost of dredging has become prohibited, resulting in a very shallow lake that will dry-up during the desert dry season. The water depth in the December photo was six to twelve inches.
Hopefully, the coming monsoon season will again fill this shallow lake.

The cristate (or crested) saguaro is rare in the plant world. Science has not yet fully explained why this mutation occurs — many explanations have been offered. This one is located near the Sabino Canyon dam.
