Summer
Oppressive heat
Field crops withering brown
Farmers praying for downpouring
Cloudburst

Andrea Dietrich August 16, 2021 at 2:44 PM yes, indeed, the farmers and many others can really FEEL this one, Milt. Congrats for your win. Wish WE would get some rain. L Milton Hankins August 16, 2021 at 5:10 PM Let's hope it ends really soon...but I'm not very hopeful. Thanks for your read, Andrea.

Edward Ibeh May 28, 2021 at 5:22 AM I really like this, Milt:-) Awesome imagery! L Milton Hankins May 28, 2021 at 8:17 AM Thanks, Edward. TG, it's raining out today, as the farmers really need it in this part of the country.
