new monsoon (but not the band)

in case you've never visited the desert, let's just take a look at what an incoming monsoon does to the sky.

this is the sky west of my house at about 6pm yesterday:and this is the sky east of my house at the same time:looks like the world is ending, no?

and this is what the world ending monsoon looked like about two minutes later:yeah, that would be a stock photo because ain't no freaking way i'm taking my ridiculously expensive camera out in a monsoon. even when the husband and i were standing in the far corner of our back porch, we were getting sprayed with rain to the point that i felt like we were on the bow of a ship.
