It was a perfect morning - vernal
equinox, full moon and the day before
Easter. A rare desert lily
stood tall and proud after the quenching
rains of winter exiled the previous
year's drought. The vibrant,
purple verbena carpeted the islands of
bright sand nestled between the dark
waves of lava that emanated from
the
nearby crater. A heady perfume filled
the still air, intoxicating the senses.
The glorious morning sun flooded the
desert with the amazing light you only
find at dawn.
This one's for you dad.
