Rain in the desert

Our first week in Quartzsite was interesting. We had a rainy day with a tremendous amount of rain and wind in the afternoon. All 8 of us were safe inside Doug and Terry's large RV, while we rode out the storm. We found out later there were tornado watches for the area and a report of one not too far from us. It looked like a hurricane, with the sheets of rain blowing over our little house. The smell of the desert after rain is something worth experiencing.

This Verdin is not a hummingbird, but visits our feeder for a sweet treat.
