"Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday, dear me, Happy birthday to me!"

It was so amazing to wake up on my birthday in Beatty, Nevada after having heard it rain in the night and to realize that it wasn't a dream. Rain in the desert. Rare, even in the winter.

Death Valley averages less than 2 inches of rain a year!

For a non US native, this image is really symbolic of the West, and it makes me want to go there. I like the colors, the balance in the composition, and the choice of a tight crop horizontally.
