This bottle, half buried in the sand was about two hundred yards out on the exposed bottom of Boysen Reservior. All of the reserviors in the state have been drained as low as possible in preparation for a massive spring run-off. Snow pack across Wyoming is well above 200% of average. Boysen beaches are usually very clean. I was surprised to find this bottle.

I hope all these places will take the chance to clean up while the water levels are so low. I bet a lot of people would volunteer to help if "someone" was willing to advertise and coordinate the effort..

Good image, although sad to see trash..

Wow! Three issues or points in a single still life. That's putting the camera to good use. This photo is versatile and could be used to illustrate litter problems without any context for the larger concerns for spring runoff or lake-draw down in droughts. And all the while the composition is engaging. Talking to friends last week in Montana about their spate of water issues, I'd be happy that Wyoming is being so proactive!
