"Light" ~ A Personal Photo Challenge~ December 14, 2013

This week's challenge for A Personal Photo Challenge is light.  Well, we sure have plenty of light here in the desert!  One afternoon this fall I took my camera and went up to the Living Desert Reserve here in Palm Desert.  I love late afternoon light.  The shadows are long, the colors are yellow...very pretty!  Here are some photos I took that afternoon for this week's challenge...enjoy!  To visit "A Personal Photo Challenge", please go to this link:   http://apersonalphotochallenge.blogspot.com/    I should also include my header photo.  That was taken at the lake on the road by the Superstition Mountains a couple of years ago.  Hubby and I stopped to take photos at a turnout and I glanced back just as the sun was turning the cliffs that golden color.  On our way back, they were gray again...Maybe that was the gold the Spanish were seeking in the southwest?  Cliffs of gold?  HA~That's what dreams are made of, right?   ***UPDATE***The header photo was taken at Canyon Lake, part of the Superstition Mountain wilderness area.
