Early Summer Wichita Bluff Nature Area Being Naturally Green


A couple days into Summer of 2025, with the temperature sizzling towards the 90s, rather than the time of my regular pre-noon daily constitutional, I opted to try and escape some of the HOT heat by entering the outer world earlier than is my norm.

It was to the Wichita Bluff Nature Area I ventured, hoping the Bluffs would be catching some nice cooling wind gusts. That proved not to be the case.

In the photo documentation, at the top, we are at the highest point on the Bluffs, looking east towards the stunning skyline of beautiful downtown Wichita Falls, with the brownish Wichita River showing up a little bit, surrounded by lush green foliage.

Due to the deluges of this past Spring, green foliage seems to be lasting longer than it has lasted during the past several drought years.

If more rain does not arrive in a timely fashion, I expect the browning of the green to soon begin...
