A couple of days ago I posted an image of an irrigation unit used in one of the local dairy’s fields (here). This is the same kind of field but without irrigation. There were more cows in this field than blades of grass because it’s been so dry in this part of the island.
Ironically, since I took this photo three days ago, we’ve had a couple of days of fairly solid rain and this field is already showing a tinge of green where new grass is coming through. However, the last time it was this dry, after it rained the first things to spring up were weeds which basically choked out the grass.

Never dry here – always the squelchy kind here which is why they are known as Country Pancakes!

It is a very dry indeed Graham. Glad the rains came but yes the weeds can get out first 🙂

Nature is amazing in that way. A place can look devastated but a little rain restores it in no time, like desert plants that can wait years for rain and then bloom in profusion.

A great shot of “dry” which is our SS theme for tomorrow, Graham! I’m sure you have another one up your sleeve!
