Coupla More, of Mora

Another view of Indian Creek, showing, well, mostly cheat grass. Highs Res photo. Click to enlarge. It's just kind of interesting to me how it can be so dry so close to water.



Turning to the left, you can see horses and cattle grazing against the backdrop of the Owyhee Mountains. Oh, and more cheat grass. High res photo; click to enlarge. Really, do it, it's worth it. There's lots of detail, especially in the top half of the pic, and it doesn't take long to upload. Look closely and you'll see a Red Winged Blackbird on a cattail.

It's not that it is dry, it's that the cheet grass has to dry up in order for the seed to bury itself in fertile ground. If it waits too long, the ground may be too hard and dry for it to get down into the soil where it will be safe.
