The Best Is Yet to Come

I mentioned a few months ago that the south duck pond in Monument Valley Park had recently undergone a much needed transformation (an understatement if there ever was one), and that the north duck pond was mid-rehab. My intention had been to photograph the north pond a few days later, but I didn't have a chance to follow through. I've done a few curiosity fueled drive-by recon missions over the winter but that's about it.

I finally did more than just drive past the upper duck pond a few days ago and there has clearly been some progress. At least this pond, though a bit run down for the last few years, was actually still a pond, which is to say it had water in it, whereas the south one sat barren and dry for probably a decade or more. So the act of restoring it involved draining what was left of the water, which if I recall correctly wasn't much. You can definitely see from this photo that it's going to be a lot better than it had been. The fact that they've built a low wall around it is already a big upgrade. I can't wait to see the finished product.

And now, for your listening pleasure...
