How green is my desert?












I have to mention the weather. We had quite a bit of rain in January and it rained again last night. The thunder and lightening is very spectacular from up on the apartment roof. Recently we drove up to the top of the country and saw all the green grass. Note the rolled car - another example of driving too fast on a reasonably straight stretch of road!! The desert really does look amazing with patches of green everywhere. The temperatures have dropped to a low of round 12-15 at night to round 20-25 during the day which makes going for walks a pleasure.


Here is a recent photo taken from the apartment balcony (on the left) - compared to one taken a year ago, also on a wet day.
