At this time of year as the temperatures rise and the land dries wild flowers and grasses produce seed heads and then die back, waiting for autumn rains to bring them back to life in a ‘second spring’.
Only the vines, with their deep roots searching for water between the rocks, are green.

It almost looks like lush pasture 😉
Beautiful photos. MD is right. One would never know that the countryside is so dry.
Lovely photos!!!
It is amazing how plant life adapts to the weather and surroundings. Love the photos.
All I have to say is- it’s so hot…
