Rosy here today with another surprising fact we are learning about living here in Northeastern New Mexico....
Monsoon Season!
Lately, every afternoon dark clouds move in and thunder starts to rumble!
The hummingbirds all come around to get a last minute snack before heading into the trees to hide.
Can you find the hawk already hiding in the tree?
Sometimes the sun stays out when the skies get dark.
The flowers really look pretty when this happens!
Bunches of times the skies get dark, and we can see it raining in the neighborhood next to ours but we don't get any rain at all!
Other times the sky gets black.....
Lightning bolts strike...
and it rains really, really hard.
Just look!!
You can see it HERE on YouTube too!
Thanks for joining us for a look at
New Mexico's Monsoon season. We sure hope there aren't any monsoons on your corner of Blogville this weekend!
I saw the hawk!! That is like a hurricane; how do tiny hummers hang in the trees then? I had no idea. Happy weekend, Rosy!
ReplyDeleteHoly Moly Rosy I had no idea about the rain...YIKES that is nearly hurrycane force. I did see the hawk. I m enjoying my hummers each time they come. Before long they will head south of the border for their winter home. What wonderful photos and video AND Aunty C loves your piggy tails

Yippee Skippy a closet tour! I am so looking forward to that. Niece Rosy as you might remember Aunty's nickname as a child was Nosy Rosy...and I'm still nosy about your closet.
DeleteWow - that rain really comes down and move sideways and swirls too! Your flowers are so pretty! We are in a drought here and need rain very badly but I'm not sure we need a monsoon!
ReplyDeletewe have been in monsoon afternoon/evening storms for 2 weeks now. the good thing about them is they come they flood/boom/blink and then they leave and the sun comes out. ours look and sound just like yours. My son did a video, I think it is set for tomorrow. a lot like yours
ReplyDeleteWow, love those monsoonal skies! Ours are less dark and other than last weekend's gully-washer, we've had little rain beyond a drop or two. As always your birdies and flowers look amazing! Stay cool and safe.
ReplyDeleteThat's some rain. It's so dry here and you can send up some of that rain for us.
ReplyDeleteHave a woof woof day and weekend. Scritches all around, healing scritches to Sunny and my best to your peeps. ♥
Oh wow, we had NO IDEA that New Mexico has a monsoon season. That rain is something else! The weather world is upside down this week. Here in Aberdeen, Scotland, everything is beginning to look dry and parched...
ReplyDeleteToodle-oo!

ReplyDeleteI am just glad to see you here, Rosy - I was missing you earlier today! I used to love the tropical storms ... though they can get a bit wild at times. Your yard is gawjuss... hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
Dang sweet Rosy, that's some monsoon, y'all better get the ark ready!
ReplyDeleteThat sure is some violent rain, Rosy. We could use some of it here if you could spare some.
ReplyDeleteLady was driving in the city last week and saw a red tail hawk! You guys have great nature. We are very glad that Sunny is on the mend, even if it is hard to keep her resting and Lady loves the Viking and bee, it made her Saturday morning! Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteLulu: "Oh boy! Monsoon season would mean a daily trip to hide in the hallway bathroom for me!"
