The Desert Is In Bloom

I hiked West Wing Mountain trail this morning at sunrise. What a treat. I saw a large owl and was able to get some shots of the desert in bloom.

This big desert owl surprised me as I came around a ridge. He was less than 100 feet from me and stayed long enough for me to grab a couple shots of him.
