It has been such a dry winter. While the eastern part of the country suffers through snow storm after snow storm, California suffers a drought. In early March a series of storms finally broke through the high pressure ridge. Not enough rain to break the drought, but enough to add a little excitement and add some color to the environment. All photos were taken with my iPhone.
Uvas Reservoir is at about 5% capacity.
You can see the dam in the distance.
This is not a Morgan Hill creek. It's a culvert that flows with storm water under Main Avenue (near Hale) during a storm, and then dries up within a day or two.
It didn't take long for the Mustard to sprout.
If you look closely, you can see El Toro
in both these photos of mustard fields.
Blossoms were everywhere around town; at the library...
and the Community Center.
And finally (FINALLY) the hills turned green.
We still need more rain.
