Pictures

Date 10/29/12 Time 1130 View of dried river in Eaton Canyon, facing east. This picture shows the basic habbitat for the organisms in Eaton Canyon, high average temperatures and low amounts of water.

Date 10/29/12 Time 1050 A Western Fence Lizard on a rock using the sun as an energy like source to heat his body and keep him from slowing down.

Date 10/29/12 Time 1102. A Western Fence Lizard also sitting on a rock but in the shade to cool down as the temperature is about 95 degrees in the sun.

Date 10/29/12, Time 1045. Whipple Yucca, 10-12 feet tall, 1 of few within 1/2 a mile. This tree is one of the tallest on the riverbed as there is not enough water to support most plant life

Date 10/29/12 Time 1120. This is a dried up California Fuchsia. As you can see the drought that has occured in southern California has left plants like this on the riverbed with little water which in turn causes the plant to dry up and lose its color, ability to make food through photosynithesis, and its shape which makes it almost impossible to recognize.
