Unlike your collective joints at the moment where it is all cold and icy and covered in snow...
Here its tinder dry and has been for a while.

"These poor buggers are getting some relief from the heat as you can see there is practicaly no grass on the red country, but there is zero on the grey soil..however there is an old addage out here, "you stick to the clay in the droughts and it'll stick to you in the wet"".
