| Soaptree Yuccas west of Tortugas Mountain |
One advantage to getting on the trail so early was a chance to see familiar scenes in different light. I think I got some good images to show what I mean. Another advantage was the sense that we had the whole place to ourselves; there were only two cars in the Sunset Area parking lot when we came out. Getting a very early start also meant that we would beat the heat, but I certainly didn't think it would feel this chilly before sunrise: 49 degrees Fahrenheit. Wearing only a short-sleeve shirt and hiking shorts I definitely was under-dressed. Becca was fine in her regular fur coat, so she had no complaints.

Really nice images of the early morning moon. And I also like the close-up photos of the yucca flowers.
