The Drying by digitalrn

The Drying

In spite of faithful watering every morning and evening, till the end of the day the flowers are looking mighty worn, all dried and brittle. The sun has been beating down mighty hard the last several days, but they are predicting possible rain tomorrow. We hope.
I think sometimes a lack of rain is worse than too much...this poor flower. The rain situation is very serious here Rick, more really bad flooding, cows all living inside eating forage meant for winter. Some farmers haven't even got in their first crop of grass yet & the crops going black under water in the fields.

Great processing, Rick! It seems like there is either too much or not enough rain this year... too bad it can't be shared a little... :)

seems like they all just need real rain -- watering isn't the same!

I feel so sorry for them!! Hopefully the rain will come and refresh their thirsty leaves. Nice processing Rick.

Great photo to depict the weather ...dry and brittle! I did find one nice flower in the park the other day and put it on tonight. The rest were pretty sad. Wonderful textures here, Rick.

We live in a fine balance, don't we? The heat from the sun is intense and the cloud cover helps to protect that.

We finally got our rain overnight and thunderstorms today..but at the moment it cleared up..temperatures are way down..refreshing for a change.
yes some flowers need more rain or water as it 's been in the last little while. mind you there is beauty still in this stage of the game. like your processing.

Interesting processing Rick. I hope you get your rain.

Interesting shot.
It has been so dry here too, the lack of rain has really reduced the farmers at the Saturday Farmer's Market. I hope you get some rain too

The rain's back here for us..in fact, flooding in some places. Very interesting shot :)

We are in the same shape here. I quit watering, it didn't seem to be helping. Just too hot!
