Galen, I always appreciate your thoughtful comments. The issue may simply be the color of the materials. I agree on your perception that the overall feel needs to be "wet". The bushes curently under the model bridge are an olive drab color, which makes me think more of a dry climate rather than a wet one. I need to put in more light green flora in the area, trying to match the colors of the proto weeds and bushes. And as you mention, it isn't necessary to match the proto flora weed for weed, but just get the overall feel.
Color and texture, not individual placement of weeds and bushes... that's the ticket!
And yeah, we do have cicadas around here, but not as many as I remember when I was a kid. But that goes for fireflies too. I wonder if that is just a nostalgia thing, or if the critters have really declined in numbers. I wouldn't be surprised if it was the latter.
