The monsoon is on!

This time of year is like Christmas in summer for me. It's the only thing that makes living in the 115++ desert worth it. The monsoon. For a few short months in the middle of the blazing hot summer we get humidity and some awesome storms. Not as good as other areas of the country, but I won't complain.

A few years ago we had a great monsoon season, but the last two years have been a bit flat. This year however looks much more promising.

I missed the first two good storms but now the gear is ready and waiting by the door. I'll chime in more as the season progresses.

Here is a half-hearted attempt shot this evening right across the street from my house. It's nothing too dramatic but give me some credit for effort. Hopefully I'll pull off something a bit more spectacular in the next few weeks. Enjoy!
