Dry dry dry garden

 It has been so long with out rain the grass in my garden is almost non existant. Just baked hard earth really.

 There are a few flowers that are still surviving the dry heat.  

 Down at the creek in the shade is still green, but the water is just lying there hardly moving at all.

 And looking really, really murky not its usual crystal clear self.

 I had a good scolding from this little fantail while I was down there.  It was swooping around my head and tweeting its head off.

 The plant that is enjoying the conditions best is the leucadendron, it is positively thriving in the heat.
