RARE: We have been in a drought for a few years and sometimes gone months without any rain and then we get dibble. This years we are almost setting records of rainfall, thank goodness.

We have been in a drought for a few years and sometimes gone months without any rain and then we get dibble.
This years we are almost setting records of rainfall, thank goodness. 260% of normal. And the reservoirs are filling up again. This year we have had enough rain to overflow the dams and the snows in the hilll have not yet started to melt.

A welcome sight, for several reasons!

This is interesting. I like the juxtaposition of the water with the arid red rock. If you shoot more, it might be cool to see one with a long shutter to motion blur the water.

Excellent set with "real" water! We can only hope that the Spring melt is gradual.
