Annadel, Needing Rain :-)
This post shows you some of the trails and views of my neighborhood state park, Annadel. All the shots were taken on two hikes, a week apart – the same two hikes from which came that comparison of the rocks & gully before and after the first rains, about a week ago. The date of the hike in question is in each photo’s title (the 8th and 14th of November). Immediately below you can see a panorama of Lake Ilsanjo, which sits in a bowl fairly high near the center of the park, and then three shots of which one was taken before and the others taken after the first rain. Sorry that I didn’t take shots that allow a better comparison of water level in thelake, but you can see more green, for sure :-). That said, we had the one inch+ nearly three weeks ago, and not a drop since. Think rainy thoughts for us, please…

See if you can identify what in this photo directly experienced one of our recent global-warming-induced wildfires 🙂

Yes, a bit of a rivers theme to encourage more rain: the egrets (can someone tell me if I’ve mis-identified them, please?) only reappeared after our first inch or so of rain, about ten days ago. We must hope for more, in part so they’ll hang out a bit longer here :-).
