I walk in nature near daily. It doesn't look like yours, much.
I took a naturalist with me a couple weeks ago. He said it is so dry that he is afraid some of the plant life will die this summer. It always goes completely dormant, but this is different to him. Maybe Mother is making this little part of earth into a 'dune' patch. There are others near by...
It's a great set of photos and an even greater meditation. Thank you!
