Update: 07/07/2007. Believe it or not the monsoon season began the very next day. For a while, the season was a decent rival to the floods of 2005, but towards the end, it just petered to a small series of afternoon sprinkles. However, because it was a rather long lasting rainy season, the mountains and this arroyo were very green.

That is a great picture. I had no idea what an arroyo was till I moved out here from San Antonio.
Thanks for stopping by the photoblog. I love our arroyos and even though we had a fire, I don't think I've ever lived in a house that had such a pretty view, although our house, with its view of the Sangre de Cristo mountains in Santa Fe runs a very close second.
In the early years here we had more wildlife: ground squirrels, quail, foxes, and others. Sadly, while we still have doves and red-tailed hawks, the shy quail have vanished. now we have a deserted ground squirrel apartment complex, and I haven't seen a road runner or collared lizard in about seven or eight years.
