Stormy Weather in the Desert





We've been having a lot of rain in the Valley of the Sun lately. I love the way the storm clouds hover over the mountains before, during and after the desert rains. Today I was able to escape the hectic pace of life for a while and take in some of the magnificent sky and desert beauty right after one rain storm and just before another. These were taken at the McDowell Sonoran Preserve Trail in Scottsdale at the Gateway Loop Trailhead.

Hi Lynn,

You should submit these to the McDowell Sonoran Conservancy's photography contest! These are just the sort of photos that they are looking for. Check it out on their website www.mcdowellsonoran.org

PS - their annual coffee table book that they print with the entries makes a great closing gift and they sell it to realators for half price.
