Day 363 - December 29

Here's something you don't see everyday in the desert - a rain storm!  (Unless you're us - then you see it fairly regularly because Christmas week appears to be rainy week around here.)  It was really coming down.  What is more interesting about this picture is that it was taken at 5 pm.  Even with the storm, it was this light out!  Once it started getting dark though, it was REALLY dark REALLY quickly.  This is my parents' back yard ... quite the oasis.  Someday we'll be there and be able to go swimming.
