A Quiet Day

I'm sitting on the deck at my dad's place and tried to get a picture of the great white herons that keep sailing past. I must have missed them but then I can't see much on my tiny phone screen anyway. California's drought has been a topic of epistolary conversation with some of you and here I offer you my own view. That little bit of water is the Kings River. Usually it's full this time of year as water is released for irrigation but not so this year. The canals are dry too. Lord have mercy. The fishing rod and net in the picture aren't seeing a lot of use these days.
