September Landscape: Forecast Dry

Sept Weeds 1

The region of California that I live in gets very dry and hot in the summer. We rarely have rain between early June and late October…it is our “drought” season. Pretty much by now all the wildflowers and grasses are brown and very dry.

This is a typical landscape along our walking trail.

But with willing eyes, you can find beauty even within this dry landscape.

These are such pretty white dried-up flowers and they are everywhere right now.

Oh, see those clouds in the top photo? Not a drop of rain that day….just lots of ominous looking clouds. I was hoping we would get a shower to water the garden but I had to go out and hand water as usual.

Looking forward to another week that promises to be a little cooler.
