Wow, I didn't know it was this bad. Thanks for your dramatic capture -- a picture is worth 1000 words. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: March 18, 2004 Comments: 61

Shucks ... You just slapped me across the face with this pic ... although we have all been reading and hearing about the drought in the midwest ... there is nothing more direct than a shot of reality ... Thanks for sharing. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: April 15, 2012 Comments: 39

This shows so much more than words like "drought" and "lack of rain" can ever convey. Great capture. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: November 25, 2006 Comments: 406

Very effective, sad and scary. Hope you get some gentle, but generous rains soon. Action: \| Ignore User Member Since: July 16, 2009 Comments: 23083
