Thought: Unforgiving South California summer.......

Summer is in full swing.......
It hurts to look into the mid-day sun...........
South California is perpetually water-stressed...
Now Flex alert (order to the residents for energy conservation) has been issued as load on power grid escalates...
Sand fire in Santa Clarita valley has claimed 38,000 acres........BlueCut fire has led to evacuations of thousands in San Bernardino...
The jacaranda tree beside my patio garden which normally draws many birds, is empty...
I thought the birds might be needing water........have put a bowl of clean water on the garden wall...


Hope, the birds will be benefited.....

My garden is trying to adapt to the long and intense heat...but, adverse effects are visible..
Hibiscus bloom is heat-damaged by the noon..

Coleus leaves are bleached out...

Ixora has bolted since months now...
