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.

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

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

  9. 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!
