Bone Dry Out Here

I’m sure most readers are aware that 2013 was the driest year on record for us out here in California, and there’s not a drop of rain in the extended weather forecast. The article linked above has some terrific photography on this subject, for those who may be interested.  The subject of the photo in the post itself here is our own Cachuma Lake, just a few miles from our house, less than 40% full at this point, and shrinking further every day.
