Rain lillies: an undeniable testament to the fact that your monsoon has started--at least a bit! They're beautiful.
The "cold" front that was supposed to end our stinkin' heat wave with severe thunderstorms and cooler temperatures on Saturday evening was a bust. At 9 p.m., we heard thunder, but 30 minutes later the stars were out with nary a raindrop in sight. Temperatures on Sunday were about 5 degrees lower than on Saturday (90 instead of 95), but the humidity was still unbearable. Today (Monday), the temperatures are still high, the humidity is still high, and, at 4 p.m., we are receiving a deluge that would soak you to the skin in seconds. Ah, summer!
That photo of the rain lilly is beautiful.
Just reading your description of the weather back there makes me all sweaty and sticky, Scott. It must have been a great relief when the sky opened up and let the deluge start.
