Thought: Greenery amidst South California drought.......

South California (in fact, much of California) is amidst severe drought...El Nino helped a little, but situation far from normal..

Water bodies are shrinking...whatever is left is covered in algal blooms........
Trees are green but the chaparral-characteristic grayish-green...
In this scenario, getting to see stretches of green is a pleasant surprise...
These are shots from the beautiful Jeffrey trail in Irvine.....a popular hiking, jogging, cycling trail...
