Looks like we're in for a little taste of Hell in the upcoming days.
And
I'm so not looking forward to it. It's bad enough that we are already
in a drought. This will make the cracks in our yard
grow exponentially bigger.

Even the drought tolerant purple coneflower
is caving in to the lack of water.

Poor thing's petals are shriveling up. :(
But at least I got a few pictures in before
the drought began taking its toll.

One day last week we had tolerable heat day; a beautiful, breezy day with some gorgeous puffy white cumulus clouds.
As the boy and I were getting into the car to go to the park,
I happened to look up and saw this....
The most gorgeous sunbeams I've seen in a very long time.
And for once I had my camera in my hand!
I was so thankful that I did!
While the hydrangeas were still doing well,
I got some nice shots of them.
This was before the drought had really kicked in.
Now they are drying up just like everything else.
...except for these Star Gazer lilies.

And they are always gorgeous!
I just love these flowers.

Wherever you are, I hope you stay cool!
Until next time....
