A Walk In the Rain

 

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 love seeing everything shining with water.  I and my camera both got a bit wet but I still loved every minute.  


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. #1 photo grabbed attention. The first thing that popped into my mind was Gene Kelly. Go figure eh!

  4. It is raining here right now which is not an unusual thing this summer. It does help to keep things green though.

  8. I'm sure taking a walk in the rain is an IMMENSE relief, when you've been living with searing sunshine for so long!

  10. I see so many textures there in plants, does it get humid when it rains?
