A pond (6/9)

In addition to all of the lakes, rivers, and streams, Washington also has so many ponds and sloughs that they are virtually uncountable. This one is in one of the drier areas of the state and it forms sort of an oasis. There are cottonwoods growing on the far shore and yet, on the hill in the background, sagebrush and rabbitbrush dominate. There are also a few ducks on the lake in this picture, but they are very hard to see.
