Tanque Verde Wash — Images by kenne
The monsoon has been pretty active the last few days, as a result the desert washes and rivers now have water in them — a brief experience in the desert southwest. Our community of Tanuri Ridge is located on the north side of the Tanque Verde wash, normally very dry, but not the last couple of days. There are trails along the wash where people walk and ride horses. This morning I went walking along the wash, which had some water. After afternoon rains I went back down to the wash with my camera and took the above photos (August 19, 2014).

I had to be indoors all day so thanks for sharing these great images. Was a whopper of a storm last night, eh? We’re around Houghton & Broadway and it rattled windows. Woo Hoo! What a ride!
The waters are still running.
I saw the reports of Flash Flooding on the news last night. I feel bad for the property loss, but on the other hand, I can’t help wonder if the large amount of water flowing through will probably result in a explosion of plants and flowers.
