The desert is in bloom. Fantastic purples, pinks, reds, white amongst the cactus and aloe plants.
Even though I came here to see all this, sometimes I get caught up in working and sleeping. Then on days off, pile on the hiking miles.
I work 1 p.m to 9 ish. So, there's time in the mornings to enjoy the warmth and glow of this canyon. That's what I'm doing now. Sunshine, exercise, a walk before work. Nothing sets the stage for a beautiful day like a commune with nature.
Zion is quiet this morning after Memorial Day weekend has past. Deer roam freely, wild turkeys ramble through the grass. Lizards scurry happily. Least I think they are happy.
All things in their season. One season at a time.
