Lizard enjoying the Sun!

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       We were up this morning, before the sun broke over the surrounding cliffs.  The silence of the dawn on the canyon floor was complete.  Slowly, a few bird calls were heard.  Coffee in hand, we took a walk, in search of the source of the water that was responsible for the the shrubs and trees that magically popped up amidst the miles of sage.  Larry stopped short on the trail and pointed to a rabbit feeding on some tasty young shoots.  "WHAT rabbit?"  It took me a while to finally see the well-camouflaged little bunny!  This is lizard country, too!  We encountered the feisty little reptile above, brazenly skittering among the rocks at the Needles Overlook.
