I am not overly fond of one of my field sites.  It’s in a part of the desert that has been severely overgrazed for way too long, so I travel through scraggly, comparatively desolate desert for 45 minutes to get there.  I’m also not a morning person in any small way, so getting up early to travel through scraggly desert so I get into a stinky, disgusting pond and work isn’t exactly my idea of fun.  However, every now and then I’m there so early that I get to see the sun come up.  Then that overgrazed bit of scraggly desert transforms into something very, very beautiful:

Morning at the field site

Gorgeous!
