The last of my Arum Lillies

before the rains came. We have had a few days of merciless downpours. The flowers have suffered, but we are ever so grateful for every drop. The only pity is that sheep and cattle are dying just a couple of hours away from us, as the area has not had rain in years.

[Angelika van Rooyen]

I am glad you had some rain at least at the cape, let’s hope that other areas get some rain as well this year. Beautiful lilies shot.

Beautiful Lilly. So sad about the sheep and cows dying due to lack of water.

Beautiful bloom. Love the pov. We have drought here also. More than 1 million homes in our region had their power cut from San Francisco northward because of dry conditions and hot violent winds.

What a gorgeous flower photo! Beautifully captured. And I am so happy that you had the rain and I hope you get more - but more gently now.
