Rain in the Desert

My favorite part about Tucson weather is the awesome temperatures in the winter time, and the monsoon during the summer. This year I think all Tucsonans have felt a little ripped off because our monsoon season has consisted of maybe 7 or 8 days this year. Well today it happened... It rained and it rained hard, in fact it is still raining!

There is no comparing the smell of rain in the desert, it is a smell I long for all year round, and finally we get to experience it once again! I tried to take some pictures of the rain, but unfortunately they really don't capture the rain image!
