Thanks KID for making this a summer with irrigation water!
If you don't know already, nature photography is a big hobby of mine. I also love seeing photos from our local professionals and amateurs, especially at our local events!
Since today is #NaturePhotographyDay 📷💐, I asked our staff to send me their own nature photos. And once again, they did not disappoint!
If you'd like to share some of your nature photos, I would absolutely love to see them! Post them in the comments ⬇️

If you see any burrowing activity on or near canals, please report it as soon as possible by using the link below or by calling:
