Clouds and Puddles


It's been a week of clouds and rain puddles here in the desert southwest.  The remnants of hurricane Lorena that I mentioned on Wednesday have been hanging around for the past few days.

I'm not complaining.  It's a very nice change from the months of hot and hotter weather we've had over the summer.






















I did venture out to the Desert Botanical Garden late Monday afternoon to snap a few photos.  Cloudy skies sometimes make great photos.

You might notice the young couple in the very lower right of the photo above.  They thought the light was perfect for a few of what I'm guessing might have been engagement photos.

In the last photo it looks like the cactus is giving me the finger.

I wonder how that weather affects the plants in your favorite spot, the Botanical garden?

All of the plants are getting a good drink!

I had the same thoughts as Andy. :)
The rain must feel nice and refreshing.

I also thought the same thing about that last shot.

I love those cactuses, they really stand out.

I love your Botanical Garden shots. I'll bet it's a great spot after the kind of rain you've been having.

That does look like a great location for some engagement photos -- as long as no one reads the cacti as a prickly metaphor for their relationship!
