Rain in the Desert

 

We have so few days when we get rain that when the clouds do show up, it's a big deal.  That's why I have two more rain related photos today.  This shot is looking at Camelback Mountain with the clouds hugging it.

This shot of a pretty tree waiting for new leaves to sprout.  The rain will help to urge that process along.  I love everything about desert, winter rains except the cold temperatures.  It is certainly not cold by most of the country's standards but it feels pretty cold to me.

Rain means so many flowers for later. Enjoy those clouds Sharon.

I turned our thermostat up to 77 late this afternoon. Rain and maybe snow again tomorrow.

I bet it's well needed when it turns up. We have been going through a heatwave, hopefully the Autumn rains will be here soon.

I understand completely Sharon, those rainy days are so precious and anticipated. The perfume of rain on hot dry land should be bottled, I'd buy it 😉

We've actually finally had our AC off the past 2 days and got the windows open. I sure miss Arizona.
