We had a rainy weekend here in Phoenix and all that rain brought the temperatures down to reasonable levels. I decided to take a walk at the Desert Botanical Garden. The skies were overcast but it wasn't raining at my house when I left on Sunday morning but it was raining at the garden when I arrived. I decided to give it a try anyway. It was a short but wonderful walk.
I don't often see the Chihuly sculptures dripping with water so I stopped for a photo. All and all, it was a very pleasant weekend and nice break from our searing hot temperatures.
#1 photo grabbed attention. The first thing that popped into my mind was Gene Kelly. Go figure eh!
ReplyDeleteYes rain can be refreshing, but not to much and to long....
ReplyDeleteThe cacti must appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful Sharon, one of your favourite places all shiny and fresh in the rain.. I can almost feel how that would have been for you 💜 Super rainy day shots.
ReplyDeleteIt is raining here right now which is not an unusual thing this summer. It does help to keep things green though.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the rain brought a brief respite before the heat wave comes back.
ReplyDeleteI like walking in the rain...
We have had a bit too much rain up here! Rain can make for some pretty photos. Nice job.
ReplyDeleteMakes me think of Ricky Martin
ReplyDeleteI'm sure taking a walk in the rain is an IMMENSE relief, when you've been living with searing sunshine for so long!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful garden that is.
ReplyDeleteI see so many textures there in plants, does it get humid when it rains?
