While visiting my parents in Gold Canyon AZ, I decided to rise early and drive out to Peralta Road on the south side of the Superstition Mountains for some sunrise shots. I was given more than just a sunrise as I discovered this owl perched on a saguaro. I believe it is a Great Horned Owl and is probably searching for one more morsel before finding a cool place to spend the day. There is something special about being there just before sunrise.

Beautiful Monte. Predawn is one of my favorite times of day. Great capture. The owl makes the image for me.

Wonderful photo! I love the richness of the orange that a sunrise or sunset produces. Have a good weekend!

You and Susan are peas in a pod. Desert, dawns, the Superstitions.
The name Superstitions conjures up many wonderings for me.

Wow, while I was there I had always wanted to meet an owl. I lived in Mesa for three years. Very nice.
