Life and art from Baja California's seaside desert. In death lies beauty. Upon the sands of Ensenada Grande on Isla Partida, a blanched triggerfish pays tribute to nature's wondrous adaptations in the struggle for survival. Its retractable trigger, or dorsal spine, and protruding teeth were effective tools in a watery world. Today, a helios from the dessicating sun radiates through its vacant orbit. Dwarfed by this relic, a Zodiac from the Sea Bird motors towards shore to pick up afternoon kayakers.
