At the beginning of this month, we had our last winter storm. After it cleared out, I went to nearby Red Rock Canyon to catch the rainwater pools before they evaporated, and I posted the first of those shots already. After that first location, I hiked a little further to another great pool location. Although now starting to clear out completely, the remaining clouds were just right for the occasion.
As I took the drive out, the creek crossings had running water, and i knew i had to return the next day to see the waterfalls. I had aspirations to get to another location, but it’s been years since I’ve seen this one running. By the time I finished taking photos and videos, it was too late to make it to my originally intended destination. The water was no longer visible on the drive, and the volume flowing in the falls would probably be gone by the next day.

These are great. Water changes everything, especially in the desert.

When I first moved to the desert, the weather patterns were different, and the rains were more frequent and plentiful. Now that we don’t see the same rainfall, it makes me appreciate these kind of days even more, because the desert really does change for these moments. Thank you very much, Mary!

It’s so incredible to be present when these days happen, I almost feel I could just point the camera anywhere and get something good, but we all know it takes a little more patience than that. Thank you, Amy! 😊

Great set! The effect of the long exposure on the clouds works very well … all lines in this composition point to the subject … like a starburst!

I’ve found that cloud movement through long exposures doesn’t always compliment the scene, but the direction and type of clouds worked very well for me here. Thank you, Denise!
