Most years when I head out into the 100 degree, super humid days of the southern Arizona monsoons to do my field work, everything looks pretty brown and crispy in spite of the rains.  Last summer, it rained SO much that I could barely do my work, but just look at what sprung up at one of my field sites:

Waist high grass!

So pretty, so heavenly, so unusual.  Love it!
