The late summer katydid chorus was going strong as I walked down the short jeep road towards the river evening. The green dominance of Johnson grass all along the edge of the jeep road, is now broken by many single stems of Grindelia, with bright yellow gum weed blossoms.
Out on the sandy levee, a half inch of rain yesterday had cleaned the sand of tracks and left a dimpled damp crust. The river was a little up.. but still much lower than a few weeks ago.
I walked into the muddy turbid water and out into the middle of the channel, where a sand bar was only ankle deep.
By the far bank the deeper channel is now narrow, only a little more than a meter wide. In the evening I saw just one Heteraina damselfly, where in the morning there will be 2-3 dozen.
