Wild weather

Ok so the desert has had some crazy weather over the last 24 hours. At our house we had rain (almost 2 inches), wind (lots), dark ominous clouds, light wispy clouds, pea/quarter/golfball sized hail and rainbows. We literally went from 100 degrees to all that over the span of 24 hours. When Autumn came, it did so with a bang.
Crazy! Here are some photos of the weather from our house.

Images from my backyard

Yes these pics were all taken in my backyard just this morning. Please don't laugh. I know the grass and weeds are like waist high. We do not normally get so much rain in the desert, so normally our backyard is a little more desert-ish. Apparently when it rains here they figure it may be awhile before they see water again, so they soak up as much as possible. LOL.

I do love the rain though... maybe it is because we do not get a lot. It just makes everything so... clear.

Anyway just thought these were interesting enough to post.
Thanks!

Rain

We have had a wet winter here in the desert. These were taken in my back yard after yesterdays rain storm. I am always in awe after the rain here... it makes everything so clear and crisp. I love it!

Summer rain

Here are some pics from a tree in my yard after a rain storm. See it does actually rain in the desert. LOL
