Tomé esta foto el pasado otoño. Fue un verano tan caluroso y seco que no había ni gota de agua en el bellísimo meandro del Melero. Tenía intención de volver y repetir la misma con el río hasta arriba, pero tal y como están sucediendo las cosas me temo que no habrá crecido ni un poquito

April 2025 has been the driest April on record - and nearly the warmest as well. And May was not much better regarding precipitation...
This place has been a perennial puddle, more of a small pond, I have never seen it to fall dry since I first came to that place in 2016.
Well, now it has dried up.

... normally the water is as high as the fence ... and you can see the leaves are already coloring this early in season ...

Camellia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Theaceae. Camellias are evergreen shrubs or small trees up to 20 m tall. They are found in eastern and southern Asia, from the Himalayas east to Japan and Indonesia. There are about 300 species and around 3,000 hybrids. Their flowers are usually large and conspicuous, one to 12 cm in diameter, with five to nine petals in naturally occurring species of camellias. The colors of the flowers vary from white through pink colours to red. Of economic importance in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Indian subcontinent, leaves of C. sinensis are processed to create the popular beverage tea. The ornamental C. japonica, C. sasanqua and their hybrids are the source of hundreds of garden cultivars. C. oleifera produces tea seed oil, used in cooking and cosmetics. The various species of camellia plants are generally well-adapted to acid soils rich in humus, and most species do not grow well on chalky soil or other calcium-rich soils. Most species of camellias also require a large amount of water, either from natural rainfall or from irrigation, and the plants will not tolerate droughts. However, some of the more unusual camellias – typically species from karst soils in Vietnam – can grow without too much water. 33901
The 7/9/22 Smile on Saturday theme is From the Ground.
This is a patch of dead grass in an area of our yard that was once green grass. We've so far kept most of our front yard alive -barely- but if our rainy season doesn't produce this winter, we're really in trouble, and a brown lawn will be the least of our troubles.
"I don't care about the lights or the beams
Spend my life in the dark for the sake of you and me
Only way to go is up, them old bitches so wack
I'm so tough, wassup?
Cause you, you, you, you and me could move a mountain
You, you, you, you and me could calm a war down
You, you, you, you and me could make it rain now
You, you, you, you and me would stop this love drought"
Drought... a haunting specter that silently engulfs the land, leaving it barren and desolate. It is a merciless thief, stealing the life-giving essence from the earth and leaving behind a parched wasteland. In its wake, it leaves a trail of cracked soil, withered vegetation, and a suffocating sense of longing.
This is near Gorman California off I-5. The infamous "Grapevine" hill is just a little north of this spot. Ran across this picture when I was re-downloading my SD cards onto my backup drive a few weeks ago in order to clear up space on my MacBookPro's internal drive. This was taken in January of 2014 with my Sony NEX5R while driving by, point and shoot. Great little camera that I sometimes wish I still had, but glad I gave it to my brother because it was what got him hooked on photography and Flickr.
Low water in a reservoir near Kukes, northern Albania, I made a slight detour to this viewpoint because the view is really impressive when the lake is full, sadly the water level was really low.
The wetland areas of the park have completely dried up and the weather forecast for this week is sunny and hot (low to mid 90s), with little possibility of rain until next weekend....
Climate change is the single greatest threat facing the planet.....!
Have a graet week guys.Thank you for comments and faves.
