Weekly Challenge - #153: "Going Green"

Where I live in Auckland, New Zealand, January’s rainfall totalled less than 10% of normal.
And there was a record low rainfall in February for parts of Auckland too.
Sunshine totals were well above normal as well
We’ve had a wonderful summer, but now draught has been declared
BUT I'm afraid I won't be able to find any 4-leafed clovers – see my dying grass???
So what happened today – we had rain. Yes, soft misty rain, but still rain
This photo shows the start of what I hope will happen now - Auckland is "Going Green"

Samsung Galaxy S11 GT-19100.

Strange it should choose St P's day! Hope you get what you need and no more.
Is the shrub in front a Hoya?

I like this diffused lgihting, great for macro photography. We've had rain too, but never enough.

Nice to see the rain.
We have just had it once since last November.

Happy for you..know the effects of drought well and though it sometimes is said we have too much rain it's still a better option. Happy wet St Patricks Day,Janice.

I saw a report about the drought in NZ on the news last night. So glad to see that the heavens have finally opened up!
What a beautiful entry! :)

Love the tropical scenery you have there Janice! v
