You can almost set your watch by the afternoon rains. Ah, monsoon season at the canyon.
You run for cover for about 20 minutes.
And then the sun returns leaving a freshness that is palpable.

I love the monsoons, they are so exciting! When monsoon season is over does it heat back up?
We could do with a few of those over here 🙂 Lovely photos. Diane
absolutely fascinating series of photos.
i'm loving all of them!
the header is really beautiful!

Oh my, look at it come down! Most monsoon afternoons in my area, it clouds up, gets windy and maybe a little thunder…but it teases, hardly any rain falls!
Lovely captures of the monsoons over the Grand Canyon. The freshness after a downpour is such a delight, and the air gets cleaned.
I can practically smell it just looking at the pics!
I like the sound and smell and renewal of the rainstorms. Beautiful photos!
These are magnificent captures….really beautiful. I envy what you have done with your life. It sounds so interesting and at the same time exciting and rewarding. Genie
Hi Gaelyn:
I've noticed the daily rhythm of the weather there in the summer too and I like it.. because you pretty much know how the conditions are going to progress throughout the day. Just before and just after the rain can see some spectacular scenes. I love those stormy skies.
Nice series of shots! You have captured so many moods of the canyon, every one more beautiful than the last.
Ah, the fresh air after the rain. I can almost smell it.
That looks wonderful, I can almost feel and smell it.
oh man, i've been thinking about northern AZ's monsoon season lately and missing it. Always loved it! Awesome shots!
does it get humid there during Monsoon? It does in Tucson and even in Utah. Just wondering. Beautiful shots. Are you trying to make me jealous? 😉
Oh hey, this is kind of what our six weeks of touring the West looked like. And by "kind of," I mean "exactly."
