Half-Finished Burden Basket

Cecilia Henry sits in front of her house in Peridot, holding a half-finished burden basket. The basket is unfinished because Cecilia ran out of "sticks", willow twigs or cottonwood. She is using both in this basket because they cannot find enough willow after the October 1983 flood washed away many willow trees in the San Carlos wash. They have to get the willow now from Whiteriver. The negatives in this collection were scanned on an Epson Expression 10000 XL.
