Is it always that green around the rocky and hilly areas there, or is it just because of the rain? I've noticed the hills around here are incredibly green due to the rain, but that's a first in 7 or so years.

Yeah it's the rain. Here's a google street view image of the same area in a different time of the year: https://goo.gl/maps/ZA6mZAP6TVn

It's like how the African savanna grass is supposed to be dead/dry most of the time.

ok, that's the arid desert look I'm more accustomed to :) the south and central are seriously looking like the far north right now. so strange.
