Hugo is taking advantage of letting every bit of the late afternoon breeze cool him down after another hot, dry day in the long-running drought.
Thank you for the awesome questions and comments on my photos here.
@ninaganci I'm afraid we are not predicted to get rain until Feb. So it's bad news all around. This area should be subtropical, so the change in our climate is staggering and the fires raging are unbelievable. I hope some rain comes from somewhere unexpected!
@koalagardens Understand. This is devastating indeed. We too are heading into summer months and fire season, even though we are Mediterranean climate, the weather has changed drastically. As I am sure you know Cape Town is still has drought, not enough rain this winter. Australia is in the same position as us. Strongs sunshine
@ninaganci yes indeed - we are having very similar weather change responses between our two countries. now is typically our fire season and by November the rain usually starts to build up and we tip into summer. not this year. I have started saying - climate change is no longer a warning we are giving, it is here, it is now.
you understand I can see. thank you for talking about it (too many still try to hide)
I agree with you and Nina @ninaganci climate change is definitely here. the poor animals don't know what happened. hope the nights get a bit cooler. fav.
@ninaganci@koalagardens I am here in California and it feels like our state is burning up. Major fires again this fall just like last year. They are threatening to cut electrical power to one million homes.
@shutterbug49 it's beyond frightening isn't it? so sorry to hear you are in the same kind of dire straits, but I do know it's worldwide. We really realise it when we all talk from our different bits of the globe.
@koalagardens and this summer is going to be scorching.
Hope you get the rains by November.
We are experiencing some spring rain today. Though we also fear a hot hot summer up ahead. Rains here start only around the Easter Weekend.
Praying you receive the much needed rain
Only when you have lived through a drought and been restricted to 50litres of water per day, does one value water and rain
