Wow that ground is dry where the orange flowers are growing out of! Almost looks like concrete. Poor flowers!
Beautiful shadow photos ;-)
I need to still find some or take shadow photos.
A few weeks ago, when we had very heavy rain for a weekend, all the flowers and plant almost touched the ground as well. Even the trees branches were hanging very low.
I remember years ago, when there was a drought in the summer with very high temperatures and no rain for many weeks. The grass in the parks was turning yellow and burned looking, and the ground was like in your photo.
Hopefully, your area is getting some rain again soon, so the ground can get some water ;-)
You are right, the ground is hard as concrete and looks like concrete. The grass is brown and not green.
I wish we can have a drop of rain, not that torrential rain, but the light summer rain.
Summer is dry here, in general. But there are years with more rain. Last month was pretty much wet.
