Harsh California rainstorm brings some unexpected beauty

[robertpaulsen]

This is a short little video my wife made, but I thought some of you might appreciate viewing the natural beauty an ugly rainstorm can bring!

1. Please tell your wife how much I enjoyed her little video, my dear robertpaulsen!

I just got such a nice break from all the horrible political news.

Love the sound track too!

The drought is not over, but we have made a great start in eliminating it.

Beautiful snowy mountains!

2. Thanks CaliforniaPeggy!

I know she will appreciate your kind words.

Yes, it is a great start. I hope this state continues to be a beacon of beauty to all, both in nature and politics!

Thanks again!

6. My wife said you're very welcome!

She's glad to have brightened your day and she appreciates the praise for her video.

I hope your knee is healing and that you're feeling better!

3. This morning I saw that the highest

peaks just west and north of the Phoenix metro look like that also.

4. Nice!

It's always inspiring to see a majestic landscape. Hope all is well with you in Arizona!

5. Soggy. Any more of this and we'll be the Sonoran

Savannah, instead of the Sonoran Desert.

7. Uh-oh!

Rain is good, but I hope it doesn't flood too badly.
