The Calm AFTER the storm


We have had a DOWNPOUR of rain the last few days here in Arizona. Some towns had to even go into a state of emergency because the flooding was so bad; and there were power outages all across the state. However, the desert just absolutely SOAKED up the rain and loved every single minute of it! And it shows.

Bella and I needed some quality time together, it had been a while. She and I took a nice jaunt around the North Mountain preserve. I knew we would be in for a treat so I brought my camera along with me. She's nothin special, but it will give you a little idea of the beauty we beheld!


I love the red in the spikes!




I guess it can be the mountains or desert, she's just happy to be in the outdoors!



It was so incredible to see the young new growth that blanketed the desert floor with green



I love when the clouds are like this, so dramatic!
