A stream once flowed beside the dying willow trees.
Today, the stream and the willows are now gone.
After a string of July 2022, 100-degree days and no rain,
there is a fear that the area may be headed toward a new period of drought.
Climate Change is affecting almost everyone.

This scene was once lush and green.
A lover of willow trees, my spotting them dying like this made me stop my car and sadly take this photo.
This "roadside distraction" marked the end of an era.
