Dry Weather
1

We had a very dry summer and early autumn. Before the rains began, I thought I would check out one of our reservoirs. It was very low in water. If we get a normal amount of precipitation this winter, it should fill back up.

Photo No. 1 - Where I'm standing was once a lake filled with water.

Photo No. 2 - I walked around different parts.

Photo No. 3 - This is actually a stream that helps fill the lake.

Photo No. 4 - I had fun walking around.

Photo No. 5 - And around....

Photo No. 6 - All of that was covered with water.

Photo No. 7 - This too was under the lake.

Photo No. 8 -  It's something we can see only during the dry season.

Photo No. 9 - More barren landscapes....

Photo No. 10 - Looking at it again....

Photo No. 11 - Now I'm moving along the lake, walking north.

Photo No. 12 - It's kind of like a desert without the plants.

Photo No. 13 - Moving along some more....  A pier was extended out for the boats.

Photo No. 14 - People swim in this section.  Powered watercraft are not allowed here.

Photo No. 15 - When there's enough water some people jump off of this pier, even although it's illegal.  But not now obviously.

Photo No. 16 - From the top of this pier we can see how much water has receded.

We received a few inches of rain this month.  But we have unusual dry weather again for about a week.  I hope the rains come back.
