Wow! I’ve never thought about rain storms in the desert (although I know they happen). It must be quite something to watch one roll in. I am curious now about what it smells like. I love the wolf moon and the rain.
Everything about a rain storm in the desert is magical. You do get to watch the curtains of rain move down the mountains and across the desert. The colors are always so dramatic. Lightening is especially wonderful because you can it see it so far away. The smell is like pure clean water. If the rain comes when it it really hot, even if it pours, it evaporates in seconds which is amazing to see α
Very happy you enjoyed them. The colors of storms in the desert are always so beautiful. It rained at night, so I missed the curtains of rain traveling in sheets down the mountains and across the desert. This is so lovely to see α
We’ll be having unsettled weather, beginning today with icing and an inch or two of snow. Snow again late Friday, then snow again next Tuesday. Overall, the total snow accumulation is not expected to be much.
I am not at all surprised that you noticed them. The snow is good news. Our Sierra snow pack is way above normal, so we’re going skiing!! So good to have the precipitation α
Yes. It rained! We are over normal for the year, but we need it to keep coming. The Sierra snowpack is way above normal which is such good news for the reservoirs. And we’re going skiing!!! α
Nature gives us formidable landscapes and you capture it masterfully. They are photos that invite you to dream of low-flying through those endless skies. Regards Cindy
Glad to hear you got some much-needed rain, Cindy! Now, do try to keep it out there because if you send it to us, as cold as things are, we’ll get ice!
Gorgeous photos! I’ve never heard of a wolf moon. Is it a desert thing? I’m glad you’re getting rain. We need more snow this year! Just keep getting little dustings!
Thank you Kathy. The wolf moon is the first full moon of the year. This one was particularly spectacular. I hear you about the snow. The Sierra has thankfully gotten snow pack far greater than normal which will help with the reservoirs and the drought. Hope you get more soon α
MY efforts are getting harder now, gal, with the eyes going. I do hope they get a mve on with things, but, its not good with the NHS at the moment. I’m waffling. Sorry. TTFN
The storm wasn’t wild in term of danger. But, it is utterly wild, when storm clouds move over the desert. This sort of infrequent storm, saves the desert with precious moisture. You are amazing my friend αα
What a glorious moon in that setting.
Thanks very much Ruth & pleased you enjoyed α
A truly beautiful capture!
Honored. Thank you sincerely α
What a sky! What a moon! What a rainfall! What a happy place, the desert. π
You should see the birdies!!! They are singing up a storm! π
So beautiful, I had to steal it, it’s now part of my screensaver collection.
Wonderful!! Makes me happy π α
Great shot on that Wolf Moon!
Much appreciated. Thank you! α
Beautiful! I am sure you are soaking it all in! ππ
Thank you, the desert and I are doing just that! α

That moon shot! Wow! Beautiful photos, Cindy.
Honored. Thank you Michele α
Wow! Magnificent, Cindy. π
Means so much Jane. Thank you α
An amazing moon Cindy !
Yes. I had no time to capture it. The moon had no time either, lingering briefly on the horizon, before it got lost in the clouds α
Beautiful moon and sky.
Thank you. Stay safe & well Gigi α
Wow!! π
Thank you! It is amazing to experience the parched desert, when a storm brings in coastal rain, over the obstructing mountain range.
These almost look like they’re out of a science fiction movie.
Life is so often stranger than fiction! Keeps things interesting α
It does!
α
We too have enjoyed a little rain, so I can empathise with your joy.
You are I seem to be in accord, which is pretty wonderful α
Marvellous shots – trails duly spotted. Good news about the rain

What beautiful images Cindy! And I remember how much I enjoyed wide-open spaces and vistas like these. π

Great photos! Love the shot of the moon. The colours are beautiful. Love the blues and warm colours.

What a lovely thought! His magical clouds do look like this. Thank for making this connection Teresa α
The contrails are very small, tough to see, beautiful photos, Cindy! I didn’t know that you live in a desert. π
Thank you John. I don’t live in the desert. I live about an hour and half drive from Borrego, so I visit constantly α
Dear Cindy, what fantastic photos. Greetings to the States. Wolfgang
Wonderful to hear from you Wolfgang! Thank you sincerely & stay safe and well my friend α
Great pictures Cindy.
Thank you Francis α
Gorgeous Wolf Moon. π
It was something. As it moved up it got swallowed by the clouds in geometric increments. I’ll post some photos of this α
Wonderful..
Thank you α
My pleasure
αα
I never tire of gazing at nature’s bounty. Thank you. x
You are most welcome, and I share your love of nature’s beauty α
Saw the contrails in both without enlarging.

Glad to hear you got some much-needed rain, Cindy! Now, do try to keep it out there because if you send it to us, as cold as things are, we’ll get ice!
You send it all here. We can use more and ice is just, meh!! π
Gorgeous snapshots Cindy! How peaceful, awesome, and humbling! π·ππ
Thank you Kym. You perfectly described how we both feel about nature α
I never heard of a wolf moon. Cool. Beautiful picture.

That’s interesting, Cindy! The mountains here are getting quite a bit of snow, too, and that is indeed good for reservoirs!
Yay!! Happy to hear it. Bring on the snow to the parched places….. αα
