Catching Moisture
Gerald Dawavendewa (Hopi & Cherokee)
With rain clouds approaching, a frog reaches out to a dragonfly, intent on a meal. Frogs are associated with the rainy season as desert frogs (Scaphiopus couchii) hibernate for summer rain. The frogs croaking their mating call as they rise with the moisture is also a reminder of the return of life-giving water to a desert.
