Given the lack of rain this summer and fall, it isn’t always easy to find good photo subjects, but these are a few shots that show what’s going on outdoors right now. Photographers are Lynn Ahrens (LA), Susan Hanson (SH), and Alan Holzgrafe (AH). Several of the photos were taken in the new River Recharge Natural Area (RRNA).
