Drought

It's so terribly dry in Upstate New York right now.  The lack of rain this season has left us with cracked soil, parched plants and empty river beds. 

 Though its quite difficult for the garden, it has allowed me to explore places I've never been able to.  Today, I meandered down this creek bed, causing hundreds of frogs to scurry to their hiding spots.

Everything is running so early this year... Normally wild grapes aren't ripening until August.

Apparently some other creatures were doing some exploring as well!
