Happy New Year everyone.
It is a rare thing indeed to fall asleep to the sound of steady rain falling on the roof when you live in the desert but this week that is exactly what happened. In the morning we woke up to a washed, refreshed, rejuvenated world. It was still raining and the mountains were swathed in mist.
Later as the mist cleared we could see just how close down the snow had come. Phew, that was close!
All the plants were draped in precious jewels of water. True wealth in the desert. Worth more than all the diamonds in the world and so much more beautiful.
You could almost imagine that you could see the cacti swelling as they absorbed all the delicious water. What a wonderful treat. Rest assured, when we hit the hottest part of the year I will be posting some more pictures from this morning just to cool myself down!

It has been a beautiful colder week in Tucson. I love when the snow touches the edge of our yard too. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year Celeste! Love images, the snow capped mountain is pretty. Have a great weekend!
Beautiful rain. Lovely rain! Love the shots. A couple days ago, the temps started going backwards and I began to freeze! It was soooo cold! Yesterday the same thing happened. That being said, I love these temps. I'd much rather hike in this weather than during the summer.....but there's nothing like desert rain:) Hope you are well and looking forward to our next visit!
The mist looks so soft and beautiful and I enjoy seeing the snowy mountains and hanging water drops. Lovely pictures!
You too Kelly :)
Thanks Eileen. Sitting by a toasty fire now :)
Isn't it amazing how much we cherish the rain Chris? We always want that which is hard to come by - human nature I guess :)
Thanks Diane. I thought the misty mountains were lovely too.
