Drying Lake Dying

Cattails springing up among the debris


Lake Granbury is drying: sandbars with sand pipers feeding, freshwater clam shells shining
mother-of-pearl, cat tails starting to grow....

a bay that was once pasture... sometime floodplains....
This lake is dying.... let it go. Free the Brazos... Let it return
to the canyons that have been cut, the meanders, the great bends,
since the dinosaurs stalked the Cretaceous shores... since the snows
of yesteryear melted, and filled the Permian Basin.... since the
Rockies rose.... Since the old Lipan Indians made their arrowheads
on the Cliffs of the Brazos...

The House on the Crumbling Cliff

Down with the damn dam!!!!! The lake will silt up anyway and there
will be a grand waterfall where De-Cordova dam now holds the water
back..... after we are all gone.... Mother Nature will have the
final say!!!!! OR: God is not mocked! (take your choice)

Ghosts of Driftwood

Now revealed: ghost-like, blanched driftwood, now drying, that
soaked up the saline waters of Lake Granbury........
