Day 279: The Cliff Rose!

I saw this fascinating flower while I was out on Cape Royal.

(1/125, f8, 27mm, ISO 320 -1/2 stop)

It grows as a tall, tree-like shrub, with pretty little yellow flowers…

(1/500, f8, 30mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop)

…but the neat part is the feathery white streamers that float on each “tree”.

(1/750, f8, 40mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop)

(1/2000, f5.6, 40mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop)

(1/750, f8, 37mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop)

Then there are the sap suckers and the junipers!

The Junipers look like a kid got a new power drill for Christmas and he had to try it out!

This one is for the Dailylife Wife…!

So after this I rode back to the North Rim Campground.  I had not slept well the night before, and I had skipped breakfast to get out to see the sunrise.  I had lunch, caught a nap, hit the Campground showers, which I thought might strip the flesh from my bones, but ended up being a relaxing hot shower (I wish I had that water pressure at home!), washed some clothes, surfed the web a little to catch up and post photos, and then it was time for dinner and a trip to Bright Angel Point to see the Moon set!
