I own a 5 acre parcel of raw desert land north of Tucson - It is secluded, saguaro studded and the view is amazing! The land is dry and you would not think that anything but snakes and scorpions could live out there, but one very special time of year, there is a bit of a surprise. During the brief summer monsoon season, thousands of tiny newly hatched desert frogs swarm the ground, having just hatched from the seasonal pond and stream that is on the property. I love to take my son out to see this phenomenon. It is the most amazing thing to see! The whole process of hatching, growing, reproduction, and once again laying of eggs that will stay dormant until the following year during the monsoon season takes a few short weeks - Then as the water dries up, they are gone again, without a trace - no sign that they were ever there. But they are there - just waiting for the right time, when once again the wait will be over. This oil painting is 18X36" and the title is - "The Wait is Over"
It is newly painted and is available in my ebay store
