wetlands

Even though I live in the middle of a huge city surrouded by development for miles and miles, http://tinyurl.com/deh5h I am often reminded that I am in the middle of wetlands. Yesterday I was walking to work and I saw hordes of gnats massing over the soaked grass. There were about half a dozen dragonflies dive bombing in and out of the cloud sucking the gnats up like a dyson vaccuum cleaner.
