The drought has caused Talapus Creek to slow to a trickle exposing boulders normally hidden under water.

Normally Talapus Creek has quite a strong flow of water. Not this year. The drought has taken it's toll.

Olallie Lake is such a beautiful little alpine lake. However, this time the wind was blowing, the sky was cloudy and the air smelled like rain. Unfortunately it did not rain. I say unfortunately because we have been experiencing a drought and so many of the trees and shrubs appear to be struggling.
