This was a typical storm canal with wide, flat bottom and flat, steep sides. After enough neglect for some plants to be already established, it was simply turned loose a few years before this view. The curved bed results from both high deposits onto plants encroaching into the bed, and just as much eroding down. Note no leaves at this time, see tree at left. This is unfair contrast, yet there really was much growth in just two summers.
