Hi to all my friends and photo masters in this forum. A quarter of the year has quickly passed, it seems to me that life is starting to improve for us little earthlings. There is a new president in US, the dreadful financial crisis seems to be ending, more people are getting there job back, these are all good signs.

There hasn't been any rice crop for the last 4 years. We city people had to live with water restriction for the pass 4 years; no sprinkler allowed on the lawn, no hosting of the car or driveway, only allowed to water the garden on alternate days during the week, and only allowed before 10 am. and after 5 pm. The water level at the reservoirs were around 25%. I think he only reason that we managed here is because we still don't have a very dense population. And everyone, from young kindy children to older granny, we are all very conscious of the water usage.公仔箱論壇9 D; c8 ~: I3 x- m6 q* t
Fortunately, in March, the northern part of the country had big drenching down fall for over two weeks, a lot of the low lying area are flooded, small towns isolated; yet everyone is absolutely ecstatic and thrilled. All the dams and rivers are overflowing, and the water is gradually running down to the southern part of the country where the rice growers are. The desert in the country has turned into inland lake, the wild flowers are popping up, all the native birds and wildlife are all gathering there for a drink, mating, laying eggs and hatching there youngs.
