Description
I love the Arizona Sonoran Desert, Summer Monsoon Rainy Season, because it means FABULOUS, MASSIVE CLOUDS. I love clouds in all their stages. The Monsoon season goes from June 15th until September 30th. Peaking during July and August.
Here it is the last day for the Monsoon Rainy Season, and it looks like it is going out with a bang. I just had to get out and explore the beauty of all these phenomenal clouds. So within a few miles of where I live, we headed out Pistol Hill Road to the Aqua Verde Creek area and Posta Quemada Canyon area, near Colossal Cave Mountain Park.
This "Cloud Extraordinaire," lit up by the setting sun, was hovering over the Rincon Mountain Range, with Spud Rock to the left of this cumulonimbus cloud. Providing a wonderful backdrop, to the Saguaro Cactus laden foothills, and loads of Palo Verde Trees.

Wow! Just the nicest set of clouds....so wonderful and awesome! Great catch, Janet Marie! F/L

Summer monsoons make the Sonoran Desert (a lush desert), green, and give the cloud whisperer great clouds. Thank you for visiting my gallery and sharing your thoughts about my photography. I really appreciate it! Janetđź’•

This certainly is cloud eXtraordinaire, Janet Marie. The "cloud whisperers" strikes again. The Rincon Mountains are dwarfed by this colossal cumulonimbus cloud. What a fabulous backdrop for saguaro-laden hillside. LF FB
