Really. That is driftwood stuck up on the sides of this canyon, from an enormous flood back in the (IIRC) 80s. The water was running 30 feet or so deep thru here--and the speed of the current must have been enormous! Horse Creek Canyon, Santa Rosa Range, Nevada.

Flotsam piled against a mesquite, when the Mojave River was carrying considerably more water than it is now-- Mojave Desert, California.

A.k.a. morning glory. Another invader weed that is now thoroughly established thruout North America. This plant is even managing to thrive in the southern Nevada desert along the watercourse. At least it has nice flowers and no stickers-- The broken brush that looks like flotsam to the right of the plant in fact _is_ flood debris, from a large flood down the canyon some months back. Arrow Canyon, southern Nevada.
