Green Summer At White Ranch

If you don't live here, you may not realize this grass is supposed to be greenish-brown:


That's because it's the end of July in Colorado, when rain becomes less common and temps on the plains hit the 90's. This year, however, rainfall has been unusually high, and plants have remained green later, and grown higher.

A very brief scattered rain was falling at the time, and it was so quiet I could hear the big drops hitting the grass as I ran.
