The desert during monsoon season

One thing I couldn't help noticing is how much greener the Sonora becomes during July. Sometimes you look out and could be forgiven for thinking it is a lush forest. As annoying as it is to get drenched on a daily basis, the water makes the plants so lush and beautiful. Of course, the heat outside stays the same and unfortunately the migrant death toll does not fall, but rises, during these months.

Looking at the desert though I can't help marvelling at God's creation- our Creator and Saviour is not only a God of justice and love, but also one of beauty. Who else could design and create something like this?
