It is a beautiful area that I live in, Arif. The beauty lies in early spring and late fall. In between we have drought. The drought is something new for us, we have a difficult time with the heat and no rain. The water tables are low and the commercial traffic that is normally on the rivers comes to a standstill. Crops fail because the drought caught them before they produced. If we continue this year with the drought, then we must change our planting habits. This year I will move my planting to 2 or 3 weeks earlier than before.
But it is beautiful and the photo of the cedar tree beside the flowers was taken in my back yard in early spring a year or two ago. It is not so pretty during July and August.
