The Viera Drylands

I have been going to the Viera Wetlands for 20 years now. In all that time I have never seen them so dry as they are with the current drought conditions in Florida. The rainy season starts next month, and it will be interesting to see how long it will take the Viera Wetlands and it’s wildlife to recover after the water returns. Here are 11 photos showing drying cells as they are today 5/13/2017.

A great photographic exposition illustrating the severe drought conditions brought on by our changing climate.
Having lived here in Brevard county since the early sixties and witnessed the changes from the reliable "Rainy season", afternoon, thunderstorms of the 60's through the 80's to what we have today is depressing. Seems to have worsened as the most of the open lands got more and more gobbled up for development.
