Refuge at Dawn



I took the picture of the clouds as the sun was coming up. We haven't had any pretty sunrises or sunsets for awhile. I think the moisture in the air made this dawn especially pretty. We got some rain this weekend --- the first moisture in a few months. Of course, any kind of weather brings wind here so we got rocked to sleep a few nights.
When everyone else sprang forward to daylight savings time we did not. Arizona doesn't recognize it. Living here on the border of the pacific time zone it makes sense since we experience the same daylight hours as California.
Friday we had our volunteer recognition luncheon. We all received nice gifts for the amount of hours we volunteered. We put in 500 hours so we qualified for a free annual national park pass. Its worth $80 because we bought one this summer and its good for any federal place that charges an entrance fee. Plus we got mugs, pins, water bottles, a small signed print of a beautifully painted bird and a book. It was very nice to be recognized for all our work this winter.
