For some that phrase would describe their eyes after a late night of partying and ringing in the New Year. For me on this first morning of the 20s, it meant first-light reaching Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park.
Being a native East-Coaster, who has transplanted to life on the West Coast, I still feel that the New Year occurs when the crystal ball drops in New York, and that's the end. So, with the aide of staid Springdale, Utah, it was easy to get an early bedtime on New Years Eve so we could begin the trek to the Canyon Overlook Trail at 6:00 AM to catch first-light and sunrise from this vantage.
The trail is a relatively flat mile hike with a few tricky spots where the ice and slickrock conspire to give even the most sure-footed concern in the dark. Once we reached the overlook, I was a little concerned that our cold trek may have been for naught, due to the heavy cloud cover. Though they were thick overhead, there still was some clearing to the East, along the sun on the horizon to light a narrow band, reflecting off the cloud bottoms and warming the sheer rocks faces of the Temple of the Virgin ahead. This image was captured about 10-15 minutes before the local sunrise time, and is considerably brighter than what we saw with our eyes, due to the 20-second exposure.
Once the actual sun rays reached the Temple directly, the light only lit the areas seen here in red for less than 5 minutes before disappearing above the clouds for the remainder of the day.

I was transplanting some plants from one area to another a couple of days ago and I disturbed this beauty. It flew out from the plant I was pulling and sent shivers up my spine. In other words we scared each other.
I have never seen one like this before so I had to figure out what it was and I posted it on Facebook in an entomology group I am a part of and I had an answer within minutes. This is the gaudy sphinx moth. I do not believe I have the host plant for this one but the birds do bring a lot of volunteer plants and vines to the yard so it is possible.
Regardless, I am happy to see it in the yard. I kept checking on it throughout the day and I tried to go out during the bird shows and stand near it so it wouldn't become a snack. After all, it didn't choose to be out in such an open area at that time of day.
Have a wonderful day and happy snapping.
Hotrod sedan with a 427ci Chevy under it's Chevy hood! You might say the "Heartbeat of America," had a heart transplant!
Long exposure of a tree someone "planted" at low tide. Thanks for your appreciation. Instagram @gks1950.
A copy of the Chinese Yu Garden and Tea House of Shanghai in Hamburg (Hamburg is twinned with Shanghai, and the city of Shanghai donated the garden). This is much more than a symbolic gesture. It is a real transplant. Think of the Hindu temples recently inaugurated in the UK: in each case soil from holy ground in India was inserted into the temples' foundations. The world we live in is increasingly relying on the creativity and functioning of such transplants.
It's no visitor, but rather a transplant from other places even farther away that I may never get to visit. Durango & Silverton DL535 No. 107 is rounding the curve at milepost 455 on the north side of Durango. Such a neat loco. I'm glad to see one operating.
Happy Monday dear friends, here's my take for Macro Mondays. Two broken shells from Portland shores came together to make a complete one, with Leading Lines! Enyoj your week and thank you for your visit :)
With Carload taking over the MDDE ops, scenes like this no longer happen as they have taken the RS3Ms out of service for a pair of SW1500s... Here's the 1203 working Solo Cup in Federalsburg, MD a couple summers back. 8/10/18
The transplanted flower really took off.
Thank you all for your visit comments and faves much appreciated!
Have a lovely Sunday.
It’s time to harvest some carrots and do a little transplanting.

The petals are so luscious and voluptuous!
The Peony is indigenous to China, but was imported to Japan so early it is difficult to be certain when the transplantation occurred.
It is a perennial plant with single flowers of white, red or pink which are born in late spring.
The peony was originally introduced as medicine. In fact, its ancient Japanese name "Ebisugusuri" literally means ‘medicine from China’.
However, due to its beautiful and now mostly double blooms, in time, many decorative varieties were developed.
In Japanese society, it was seen both as a medicine and a source of beauty.
THANK you for ALL your comments and visits, so appreciated.
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)

My neighbor's tree was gorgeous this fall but it looked much better at the reservoir - transplanted pixel-by-pixel!
Scott pulled out his newest trees and plants this afternoon to transplant into better pots and soil.
When he stepped away for a minute to get something he needed I couldn't resist climbing up on a chair to get a shot of his set up.
Hope everyone has had a good day.

While Nancy recovers from the surgery of two-and-a-half weeks ago, she needs a nap or two a day. Beckett almost always joins her to assist her in napping, one of great talents.
