California has been under a severe drought for several years. I visited Lake Hodges this past weekend and I could see some of the effects of the drought on the lake. Despite the absence of rain, the natural vegetation, which is adaptable to the dry conditions, is alive and still grows.

Lovely textures too! Where there’s water and life, there’s hope. Thanks for sharing, Fabio. We appreciate your uplifting posts!
De belles images d’une nature malmenée mais qui tient bon et s’adapte malgré tout 🙂 !
Merci Fabio pour ces belles photos….Bonne journée
Merci merci, Georges! Your treats are so much appreciated! Thanks a lot! 🙂
Nature has an exeptionel way to survive.
I agree with you, my dear friend! 🙂
Wonderful pictures of a manhandled by natural drought.
I love the last one with the tree, it is beautiful …
I wish you a nice day my dear Fabio.
Nature is fantastic and will always survive. Very beautiful pictures! Thanks for showing us.
Nonostante tutto la natura cerca di sopravvivere. Molto belle le foto. Ho pensato anche: se c’è natura nonostante la siccità chissà quanta ce ne sarebbe con l’acqua e che spettacolo si potrebbe vedere!!!
Un caro saluto e un abbraccio. Ciao, Pat
