Photos of a Sunburnt Suburbia

[kerravonsen]

I was putting the trash out and the deadness of my lawn (not to mention the deadness of my ivy) caught my eye and I thought I'd take a photo. But before I actually took any photos, I got chatting with a neighbour and it was dim-dark by the time we were done, so I had to use the flash.

We have a little more grass than you, but not much (and a quarter-acre corner block to spread it in). It doesn't get much watering, since we prefer to keep that for the herbs and small vege patch, but I try to siphon off grey water when I can (we are planning a tank)

My dear friends there, this is really horrible, I have seen the latest news from Victoria and the flaming hell, and read about those victims and all...
I hope you are safe. These picures speak volumes!

I thought the only thing that could kill Ivy was industrial strength weed killer, *that* gives me the idea of how bad the drought is down under like no ammount of words could.

Those plants look cooked. From the news Victoria is having a very bad time.
