It never failed to amaze me when the rains would come to Bahrain and seemingly overnight, whole swathes of previously bare desert sand bristled with fresh green grass shoots. Small pools and ponds would form and trilobites dormant in the dry sand would hatch and engage in a breeding frenzy before all the water evaporated in a week or so. :hmm:
