These are the skies in my neighborhood this morning. We've had 3 days of significant rainfall (significant by Arizona standards!) We needed it to relieve the drought and low rainfall totals. I am hopeful that if we can get another shower or two over the next month we may have a beautiful wildflower season this year.
Here's a haiku I composed on the topic...
Storm clouds sob then weep
Rare gift to desert's hid seed
Blooms will rise to breathe.

These red poppies were a demonstration piece done for my painting students, in neocolor II pastels. We may get gold poppies soon, but if you want these red varieties, you have to visit the nursery. ;)
