Day 17 - Weather

The weather in this part of Arizona doesn't really change much; sunny and bright, cloudy and rainy, a little overcast but not very chilly, bright but a bit chilly, and hot - just gosh darn hot. I do love some of the dust and thunderstorms we get out this way and that was one of the things I loved living in our third floor apartment.

We had a great view of the north eastern valley and could see the storms move in from the south and just sweep across the valley like somebody had drawn a line across the sky - one in pale blue/grey and one in dark stormy grey. The last couple of days have been overcast with the threat of rain looming. Although, I'm not sure how much a 'threat' it is when you live in the desert and winter doesn't mean snow it means green grass, fat saguaros, and bushes blooming all over the place --- in other words "Spring" in other parts of the world!

I took this pictures while leaving work and thought about putting my truck in the shot to show the raindrops covering it but decided I loved the sky more. I really love staring at the sky and the seeing differences night to day, day to night, sunny to cloudy.

No matter hard hard we try we can only harness the power of nature but never truly emulate its power and beauty. Mother Nature is truly an inspiration to the artist that lives within us!
