Resurrection, vernal pool style
Babcock Vernal
With the torrential rains down to a misty drizzle, I decided to head out to Babcock Ridge to see what yesterday's downpours had wrought. It was wet enough so that, even as recently as last week, I probably would have opted to leave the cameras at home. But now, with my trusty—so far—weatherproof Fuji in hand, I knew I could come back with images... and not with ruined instruments. At what had been, in late-November, the last time I hiked the ridge, a dry hole, there was now clear evidence that this depression would eventually be a proper vernal pool. I didn't see any sign of amphibian life in the water, but it will be there, soon enough. If you fill it, they will come. Oh yes, they will most certainly come.
