I remember being in Washington State when the headline in the local newspaper said "30 Straight Days of Rain." I had flown to Seattle to hire a salesperson for OPEX Corp's northwest territory. I asked one of the applicants whether the clouds and rain made him feel closed in.
We're fortunate to get twelve inches of rain in an entire year. That means that when it comes, we rejoice. We're not glad, or happy to see it. We rejoice! Rain is a joyful thing to Tucsonans. This photo above is more than rain. Below elevation 4,000, it was rain. Above that elevation, it was snow!

Mike,
We will all be looking forward to seeing the spring photos of Tucson and all of the flowers that will be in bloom.
Wow, when was it snowing? Was that around Christmas? I miss seeing the way the clouds come down on the mountains like that. It's so far away from me here...
Doreen,
There is still snow on the ridges behind Pusch Ridge! This was sometime earlier in January.
Don,
You can bet I'll be taking some, and sharing them with you!

Mike, Love the photo in your blog header! Hope you will be rejoicing with more rain. Beautiful post.
Thanks, Margaret!
It's always good to see you.

Mike - beautiful photographs again, and the rain is always appreciated. In fact, it has been so warm here, the weather forecasters are now saying we have a La Nina (which means dry weather I believe). Yesterday it was 80 degrees at the beach, it was like summer. However, we are supposed to get some rain this week.
Your photographs are truly beautiful - what type of camera do you use?
Sharon,
It's a relative cheapie. Panasonic Lumix with 10X optical zoom (Leica) $200. at Costco.
