“Have you ever seen the dawn? Not a dawn groggy with lack of sleep or hectic with mindless obligations and you about to rush off on an early adventure or business, but full of deep silence and absolute clarity of perception? A dawning which you truly observe, degree by degree. It is the most amazing moment of birth." ~ Vera Nazarian

Sunrise begins its subtly quick advance across the slick rock sandstone of Coyote Buttes South and surrounding areas of the Vermilion Cliffs / Paria Canyon wilderness. I stood here by myself for a long while watching and felt the birth of another amazing day.
