It’s the Desert

How tall is this cactus?

Even with our wide angle lens, it was difficult to get me and the top of the cactus in the same photograph. As you can see, there weren’t any clouds the first day we went out. If you remember yesterday’s sunrise photographs, they had lots of clouds, which made the colors very interesting. When Richard was taking the sky photographs and it was still dark, he needed to keep the camera steady. We didn’t bring a tripod so he set the camera on my head. He is just enough taller than me to look straight through the viewfinder with the camera sitting on my head. We should’ve gotten a picture of that.
