Riverbed Landscape with Trees

This is the lower part of the area we were observing. As you can see, it is a dry riverbed with young Sycamore trees. It also included whipple yucca, black sage, and cacti, to name few other plants. The soil was very dusty, and there were a lot of rocks, which were perfect for lizards to sun themselves on. This photo was taken on October 29, 2012.
