California dry grass!!

Beginning of the dry summer of California!

As summer advances in California, the green grass ends up like this - scary particularly because of the frequent fires that break out. Very soon they will be mowing the whole place to avoid any danger of fire. But now it has it's own silky beauty you can see above! 

This was taken during a photo walk to a location called DISH on the Stanford University campus.  I had to sit down to get this angle in the hot sun light. But it was worth the effort because, in a week it would have all gone and also because it was picture perfect!
