The drought here in southern Arizona was really bad this year ... a carryover from an almost nonexistent monsoon season last summer. All of the scrub oak trees lost every single leaf, and any grass that was left was so dry even the deer wouldn't eat it. The first video looks like a wildfire blew through here, but that wasn't the case. It was like that through most of May, all of June, and the first two weeks of July. We actually got a few decent rains by mid-July, though, and by the end of the month the trees got their leaves back and the tall grass went from nothing to two feet high. The speed of the rebirth is amazing. The first video is from July 11 and the second video is from August 5, but the rains didn't come until a few days after the first video and the hillside looked the same as the second video a few days before I was able to film it. Both videos were shot at 4K/60fps from a Mavic Air 2 drone in D-Cinelink mode with an ND16/PL filter, and I used the same minor color correction in post editing for each of them.
