Palms To Pines Sunrise

     So....I've been bad about posting pics to my blog so I'm going back at it. A quick weekend trip to the desert always turns into a photo op. I decided to catch the sunrise for the first time here since I'm now in the bad habit of waking up at 4:30am to workout even without an alarm.  

 I checked the sunrise time and headed out to Highway 74 from Palm Desert and winds it's way to Idyllwild. It's called the Palms to Pines for just that reason. I ended up going further than I intended and started freaking out a bit since I get scared being on unfamiliar, windy roads, didn't have my glasses on and the switchbacks were narrow. Luckily, there was a big turn off where I took these photos and not much traffic at that time of the day.

Getting my car detailed has brought out the brightest blue out of my car

I love seeing these flowers against the blue skyline

This is how I prefer to take selfies

On the way down, some of the mountain still hadn't had the sun come up yet.
