  1. So gorgeous. The water pictures bring something to mind. When there are rains is the area subject to flash flooding?

  2. Hi Annie, Yes flash floods can happen in this area and that is something to keep in mind especially during monsoon season!

  4. We have had a rather long monsoon this year. Can't complain too much we needed the rain. My skylight didn't much like it though !
    Lovely photos as always. The second photo is wonderful.

    cheers, parsnip

  5. Oglądałam powiększone zdjęcia i patrzyłam na inną od naszej, ale bardzo ciekawą przyrodę. Podobał mi się spacer, no może oprócz węża, którego bym wolała na nim nie widzieć. Pozdrawiam.
    Plus I watched pictures and looked at different from ours, but very interesting nature. I enjoyed the walk, except maybe a snake, which I would prefer not to see on it. Yours.

  7. This has been a real treat lately. The random storms and the wildlife....butterflies, hummers, deer...everything are everywhere!!! It's hard to pick and choose where to go on the weekends:) Nice shots of Sabino:)

  8. I am jealous of all your rain! You get rain, we get dirt. But I am not jealous of your snakes.

  13. Wow, I knew that Sabino Canyon would get some water but I didn't realize it would get THAT much! Look at those Gila Chub! I love your photography; what a gift. Thank you.

  14. Such beauty in the desert when it rains. I have been hearing, though, of the oppressive heat in Phoenix and I suspect it isn't exactly cool in Tucson. We've been having triple digit weather for the last week, expected to break in a few days.

  15. You have perfectly captured the beauty of nature after the rain. So, it has rained in the desert but we are still parched here :(

  22. Hi Ann, the creek does stop flowing for a while in the summer, but a few small pools remain where the fish stay until the drought is over.
