Today however, is the first day of sunshine after a storm system has kept us dark, dreary and wet for three days. We've had periods of outright downpours with streets being closed and traffic at a standstill. Most everyone has opted to stay indoors and ride it out.
But, if I had to pick a time when the desert is the most beautiful, the most perfect, and the most amazing I'd have to say it's the day after a rainstorm. No one seems to realize how dusty and dirty the desert gets. Oh sure, we see the dirt on our cars, we see it in the windowsills and we notice a haze that sometimes flutters across the sky. What we, or should I say I, sometimes don't realize is that same dusty layer can also blanket our landscape.
So after a rain, everything is crisper, everything is more colorful, everything is fresher. As Mother Nature sends us a storm to dust off our desert floor it makes me appreciate living here even more. With that in mind and waking up to some awesome mountain-scapes, I thought I'd take the long way into the office today. Drive a little slower, take a longer route, make a couple of detours and stop to photograph a few scenes. That's how life is best enjoyed here and today, after a thorough cleansing, is one of the best days to be here.
