In deserts of the American Southwest, rainfall is precious, & it often comes in dramatic & inspiring flashes. Sunlight, clouds, & rain work together, creating kaleidoscopes of unsurpassed beauty. And rain brings a flush of new life to the desert. DESERT RAIN/DESERT BLOOM celebrates this theme, through spectacular photographic images of desert downpours, raindrops, lightning storms, rainbows, & wildflower displays seen only once in a decade. The book's introduction, by John Alcock, contrasts the moods, cycles, & life-giving significance of rain in the desert Southwest. Other recent books by the author-photographer, Thomas Wiewandt: CACTUS FLOWERS, & ANCIENT SEA CREATURES (Both Wild Horizons Postcard Books); & HIDDEN LIFE OF THE DESERT (Random House, 1990).
