On Tuesday we had to head to Kanab to buy some groceries. Because it is monsoon season here in northern Arizona/southern Utah, we drove in the rain most of the way. I love the desert in the rain–the colors are different, and it smells so good!
After a rain, the dust is washed out of the sky and you can get a better view of those Vermilion Cliffs off in the distance.
We’ve had a lot of rain in this area in the last few weeks, and you can really tell by all the green in the desert.
The clouds hovering above the cliffs is so beautiful. The road sometimes seems to lead to nowhere.
As we got closer to town, the rain started clearing up.
By the time we arrived at our destination, the sun had come out. We stopped in at the fresh produce stand in Kanab. The guy doesn’t even pick the vegetables until you get there. We got green beans, chard, bell peppers, squash, and red potatoes. Thank goodness for all that rain!

I’m loving the rain this year. Does make everything smell nice, and green things up too.

Will desert flowers bloom after monsoon season?

That produce stand is almost as good as having a garden in your own back yard! (If you didn’t have to drive a zillion miles in the rain) but still….. as soon as I have time I am coming back to read back on your blog and catch up….but glad you’re out and about now.

I just learned a little while ago that AZ has a huge rainy season! Your cloud pictures are beautiful and look at that garden…wow!

These beautiful photos put me in a romantic mood…I love a little drizzle on a day when I’m with hubby, driving around 🙂

Not that it is a surprise, but I love your travel posts. I love the rain, it’s my favorite type of weather and these pictures make me miss it.
