The Skies Opened Up

 

We got our summer rain on Thursday night and when I woke up on Friday morning, it was only 76 degrees (24c) outside.  I drove to the Desert Botanical Garden and got in a two hour walk.  

I arrived around 6:45 AM and found the garden almost empty.  It was so refreshing to have the place almost to myself.  

There were lots of desert rose blooms to enjoy and I couldn't resist photographing many of them.  Here are three plants but only the center one has blooms on it.

I'll have some more photos to share next week.  I didn't see a lot of animals out but I did see lots of birds and bees and butterflies.  It was great to be enjoying the desert.
