Raindrops fall into the Farmer's Highline Canal in Westminster, Colorado.
Here, cottonwood trees, coyote willows, and town homes sprout along a canal, once primarily used for agricultural purposes, now supporting these suburban communities. Not too long ago, this was a dry ridge, and the only cottonwoods in the area were found along Big Dry Creek below.

I love learning something about the evolution of hybrid landscapes like this. Thanks for sharing these words and pictures.
RP, it's certainly my pleasure to share these. There should be plenty more to come this summer, like the video I just posted today. ;)
