We had a major downpour this afternoon as the monsoon thunderstorms descended upon Wickenburg late this afternoon. The skies darkened and the sheets of heavy rain came. It was raining so heavily at times that we could not see 500 feet. I braved the wind and rain long enough to get this shot of the RV drive flooding and the downspout from the gutter running off like a little Yosemite Falls.
We, and the dogs, were safe and sound inside while all this was going on. The dogs preferred to hibernate under their blankets through the worst of the storm. Click on the image to enlarge.
Jealous, I am!
Well, be careful what you wish for.

I echo the sentiment, I am envious. I loved the rainy season when I was in and around Tucson and I loved the aftermath of the rains – those toads sing some wild songs.
We saw one toad two years ago, but none since. Maybe later this summer.
