The wash is a true
microcosm of the whole
desert - simply small

Today, I've finally achieved my goal since arriving - to sleep long and well but wake up before the sun. I missed most of the morning colour. I caught just a glimpse of it as I was walking down the driveway to open the gates. 

I drove off to the wash where my old mesquite lives. I got another shot of it with the mountains behind. The lovely gate that L painted in pastel looks good on this grey morning. I got a shot into the wash to see the erosion after the last big rain. I found another, more twisted mesquite as I was heading home. 

I'm in for the day with jobs to do. I should treat myself to fish and chips for dinner if I get my list checked off.
