Rain Rain Don't Go Away

We've had over an inch of rain in Tucson over the last few days and our morning walk in Sabino Canyon had a whole different look about it.


For the past month and a half we have had daily sunshine and not a drop of moisture. Our views were pretty much like this.


Now all of a sudden there were puddles on the main trail toward the dam and Bear Canyon.

The clouds were hanging low and often the saguaros seemed to be isolated in the mist.




The valleys still retained the clouds.






We made our way up to the Picnic Overlook for a full look at the canyon valley and the high country.   





The lake is full and the creek pours over the dam.

As exciting as the long views are, the real harbinger of coming spring comes in the close-up's that reveal droplets of water clinging to the waiting branches.

 

 

 

Even the roadrunners approve.
