Default Waiting.

Spending all day indoors out of the heat is starting to send me crazy, so today I ventured out, braved the fierce sun and the brown snakes, and took some pictures.
This lot is called "Waiting for the rain"

Waiting for the rain-2

So glad I didn't find any brown snakes down in the creek bed, it was probably to hot for them.

Waiting for the rain-1

Waiting for the rain-4

Your boots took a walk without you!!!

Actually, a great idea, and I like your series. Very good work, as usual!

I'm glad I didn't find any, there wasn't anywhere to go in the bottom of the creek bed.

Well done Michele, like the composition on all and the selective color on the last one!
