Dried mud

Sunday morning I took a drive down my favorite dirt road up in the mountains and saw many spots like this.  This is where a bulldozer makes a drainage path for water coming off the mountain.  They had rain up there a couple of weeks ago, and since then these muddy areas have dried out, resulting in the dried mud.  Isn't it interesting?

While hubby and I were waiting for our photography group to join us at Anza-Borrego park last month, I wandered through the dry wash which we were going to soon drive out to Font's Point. I found a dried up water hole and I bent down to investigate the curled up mud. Hmmm....???? It was actually quite interesting, don't you think? Macro Friday for February 25, 2011.
