Moonrise over Rio Grande Cliffs, Caballo Lake State Park, NM, May 4, 2012
Practice, practice
This was taken the night of May 4, 2012, the night before the big moonrise of the year everyone was so eager to capture. Back on my post after that big night I indicated I hoped I got a few interesting shots of the moonrise and I'd like to think I did. Tomorrow I'll start posting a short series of my favorites here as I wander eastward toward Red Rock.

Hobnobbing with Brigham Young
The day following my arrival in the flourishing City of the Saints, as they called it then and still call it, I very unexpectedly met and formed the acquaintance of Brigham Young. I was riding along at the head of my flock of sheep when a stoutly built, florid faced genteel-looking man, whose hair was just turning gray, walked down to the street from one of the most pretentious residences in the place and inquired whose sheep I had charge of.
