Time mistreats a mound of blobs

  Today's installment shows a later part of the circle of life of blobs, so to speak.



Time was not kind to the mound of blobs.  Between sunlight, wind, and people, a mound of blobs is very dynamic, but the color saturation decreases and the snow-covering increases.  The ratio of vertical to horizontal increases.  The second law of thermodynamics applies to a mound of blobs, with a vengeance. 

Perhaps someday the water in the blobs will evaporate, rain down, infiltrate an aquifer, be brought to the surface in a well, find itself distributed by complex system of pumps and pipes, meet a balloon again, and become a new blob.  Has this happened?
