Brownies!

The warm and very dry year continued through the summer. More forest fires, more dry grass, etc.

This photo looks kinda like a big brownie. But its the bottom of a pond. Very dried out and cracked.

Normally, this large pond would have a foot or so of water standing in it throughout the whole year. This year its been bone dry for a long time. Normally muddy and gooey, I was able to walk around on it no problem. As hard as the walking trail. Guess we need a wet fall/winter/spring.
