I'm sorry to hear about the dry weather you're having. We went through two years of drought here in Tennessee, but the rain in fairly close to normal so far this year. It always hurts to see plants dying from lack of water.
But you did manage to capture some great sky and beach pictures!
It's hot in Sacramento, too. The iris bloom and fade quickly. Unfortunately, our community of Licncoln put out a press release saying they have plenty of water for this year, no need to conserve and people aren't. Bad, bad, bad policy, everyone should conserve.
Hot, hot, hot...here too! Our lovely green hills are rapidly turning brown. Roses are already in full bloom. Happy Earth day to you...great series of shots from your world! Enjoy WW...
We hit 100 here yesterday. A record too. I love your collages as always.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
great photos for Earth Day. I have some up as well. :)
happy WW!
I'm sending our rain over. We've had too much. My backyard is a swamp.
The beach pics are awesome! Wish I was there :o)
Love the shots. I can't believe it's been this hot. Can't wait for it to cool back down to Spring weather. I don't know why they don't so something about out water situation. My sister just paid big money for her lawn. I don't know if she can keep it only watering it twice a week.
:-(
Beautiful photo collages.

I enjoyed your photos and Chief Seattle's wisdom (so fitting for Earth Day), but am sorry to hear that things are too dry there. :(
I want an ocean.
My son's family has also been sweltering in California. To add to that, electricity for air conditioning is wicked expensive. Adds up to discomfort all around.
I want an ocean too.
we finally have spring -- and for two days I thought we'd skipped it entirely and jumped into summer.
SOOO many plants are popping forth with blossoms in the 80s.
BUT.. this morning it was in the 40's... so we're back to spring again.
Oh I know that story! We had the worst drought in our history in 2007 and the water tables are still trying to catch up. Thankfully the reservoirs are full again, so the city customers are at least back in business. But even though we're running a surplus at present, the city still has restrictions in place. They're just not as stringent as they were two summers ago.
The ocean views are just spectacular but all that lovely sun and blue sky doesn't help your beatiful garden much. Such a pity that those wonderful blooms should wilt far too soon.
Your poetry and photos are so beautiful!
You are having dry weather and we are having cold wet weather..I hope you get some rain soon...it is hard on plants and wildlife....
That rose Spring on the sidebar is so wonderfully Spring !!Sandy
Hope your plants spring back. We are going to have record highs here this weekend too. For us we never get in the 80's in April.
I'd love to be at that beach, right now.
You have a perfect little piece of Earth there!
