Drought Effects Summer of 2011

Amazing what a year will do.   Heavy rains in June 2010 - with persistent rain thru that summer.  Our lake looked great:

Today, in summer of 2011, we are entering our 37th day of greater than 100 degree temp - and essentially no significant precipitation for 2 months.  The lake is down at least 3 feet..... It is amazing to see how rapidly vegetation 'consumes' the land made available by the receding water.
