      The first rain after a long hot summer. There is a specific smell. But only for thoes who are aware and out side only lasts for about 5-10 min once everything is soaked its gone. Yes there is a magical smell and a desert would be the same but probably more so

    • @mottmann2898

      The plants were probably drowning in the water because they are not used to holding a lot of water, so their roots are suffocating (roots need air). So no, the plants would not be happy to drink even if they did have emotions. :(

    Oh man, what a relaxing, satisfying and beautiful idea! I enjoyed the sight of seeing a desert landscape getting that rare drink that I am sure it cherishes when it does get it. Knowing those plants are storing the water so they will have it slowly as needed is so amazing. Also, the awesome water sounds made all the thoughts that flooded (pun intended😋) my mind, made it all the better. So, thanks for no music or commentary. I usually don’t mind commentary, but when nature is at work, I prefer to hear its commentary😉

The ground got so saturated I had a pond in my front yard. The very first year I ever did drought tolerant gardening, we had a lot of rain, too. Lost a bunch of plants because I was a novice then.

    Beautiful video! Good job! Reminds me of the big flood that came through Ocotillo in September of '77. Hurricane Kathleen parked itself over the top of the mountains, right where the old Desert View Tower is. Six inches of rain fell in six hours. A wall of water a mile wide and 30 feet high came through Ocotillo. You can still see the scar it left by using the satellite view tool on Google maps. Thank God the Winter people had not yet arrived. Took out the town, the old SD&AE railroad, and a good-sized chunk of I-8.

The Sonoran Desert is such a beauty with its abundance of Saguaro Cacti, Cholla, and shrub life and in the spring the desert comes to life with flowers of vibrant colors and red and orange sunsets. Another beautiful desert location is Sedona which I’m sure you know tons about. People are missing out and I guess they’ll never see the beauty.
