Bloom Night Recap The Queen's Monsoon Magic - Tohono Chul - Tucson, AZ

Last Sunday was an eventful one. Chris says that early that morning, the buds were still closed tight, but by afternoon some were already showing the white of their petals! Around 6 pm we could see an opaque storm cloaking the northwest from Tucson's East side. Filled with excitement and cautious optimism we made our way to Tohono Chul. Beautiful cascades of rain fell in front of the sunset. A dramatic backdrop of pink cotton candy clouds and lightning set the stage.
