I think even the ducks are wishing for . . .

. . . rain!
 

In many areas of the UK, and further afield, rain would be most welcome.
Many countries are facing wild-fires.
I hope where you live you are keeping safe and well.

All the best Jan

  5. I don't like rain, but it would be welcome for nature... everything is burned and scorched by the heat and another heat wave is coming... I'm scared of temperatures around 40 :((

  9. It's sad to see rivers and reservoirs drying up. The threat of wildfires is everywhere.

  20. Between the relentless heat, the choking wildfire smoke lingering across regions, and areas in the UK and beyond desperate for a proper soaking, everything feels like it's just begging the skies to open up. A good, steady, drenching rain would be an absolute blessing right now, not just for the parched earth and the local wildlife, but for clearing out the heavy, oppressive air.

  23. Es ist auch hier sehr trocken. Aber noch besteht keine Waldbrandgefahr und das Trinkwasser wird nicht knapp. Ab morgen soll es regnen. Ich wünsche allen, dass sie diese heiße, trockene Zeit gut überstehen.

  24. Non solo le anatre.
    Da noi per venerdì è prevista allerta arancione con 41 gradi di temperatura.
    Speriamo di non cuocere 🥵🥵🥵

    It is very dry here, too. However, there is no risk of forest fires yet, and drinking water supplies are not running low. Rain is forecast starting tomorrow. I hope everyone gets through this hot, dry spell safely.

    It’s not just the ducks.

  28. Beautiful photo, dear Jan!!! We got quite a bit of rain here in Montreal yesterday. Unfortunately it is still pretty hot and humid today here...even though it is cloudy.
    Yes, refreshing rain is needed. Thank you so much for sharing, dear friend.

  29. I just heard on the news tonight that some fires are in the southern part of England I think they said, so sorry to hear of all the places that are having problems with fire, and flooding there has been a lot of that too. Praying for rain for all that need it!
