thx for the photos. kinda funny, with the rainbow pic, the guy was a prob a lot more focused on photoing his (dearly beloved?) SUV than the rainbow. just kinda funny
A collection of the photographs of the water pools and water falls in the Green Valley area are worthy of being shown in an artist’s show. Just breath-takingly beautiful.
I remember when the virgin river had a healthy amount of water in it. Those days are gone….BUT….
B-E-A utiful pictures of the rainbow!
Awesome storm, lit the barbecue up and enjoyed the rainbow! Lots of thunder as well. Knocked down that pesky Mulberry pollen too.
