A tumbleweed in a dry wash

A ball of dry tumbleweed has come to rest on the sandy floor of a wash, hemmed in on both sides by dense, leafless thickets of grey-brown brush; the channel runs away between them under a pale blue sky. Before the dam, the lower Colorado brought floods in spring and ran low in the dry months, and the farms along it depended on its moods.
