Since we were still in the national park at Bryce Canyon, and minutes away from the rim, I decided to get up for a sunrise. Joe had told me to wake him up, and he would decide if he would go with me. At 5:45, I woke him up, but he said he was going to stay in bed. So off I went to watch the sun rise.
Full-Timing in our RV with God by our side!

Up Before the Sun
6/26/2010
Since we were still in the national park at Bryce Canyon, and minutes away from the rim, I decided to get up for a sunrise. Joe had told me to wake him up, and he would decide if he would go with me. At 5:45, I woke him up, but he said he was going to stay in bed. So off I went to watch the sun rise.
It was really pretty light out when I left. I thought I might have missed it already. But when I got there, there were lots of people holding up the rim.
I had to wait for about 20 minutes for the sunrise. It was so light out because of a full moon.
You can see all the spirals, pinnacles, and hoodoo's, before the sunrise.
Can you see the face of this hoodoo.
A glance over to Sunrise Point and all the different colors on the cliffs.
While I was waiting, I started to walk along the rim from Sunset to Sunrise Point. After standing for 15 minutes, my hands, and legs were freezing. I had jeans and a jacket on, but it is mighty cold that early before the sun comes up. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit_5Ozb0bjrdHc3Toek4SE_GZIeXhFQ0hscuiYBzt1wiwIeARVRVD1D7IgonTfZ4C3ritDjpuTwZJ2o6kt8b5bUaaAr4IWRuC76s_YByczWrslqmEt4pV6nQOaBmAI-EmvohYapK7yBkFl/s280/sunset+sunrice+fairyland+trail+080.JPG)
After the sunrises, it brightens things up. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZAzxnbZJxE-s1FJLbmyPLWp36sY_3FxbXJ122GCz8224DS9-_bkog2926lGuTLXar22yKrOsR_1vZC1LKwP4Wi71NYbF82Ilp8_fAsvYmN8Wj08o3zExJJXqEch5B6dXTxyJUiSuUtozj/s280/sunset+sunrice+fairyland+trail+057.JPG)
I walk back along the rim to Sunset Point where my car is parked.
A picture I took earlier this week of this flower that closes at night. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidpvz6no5NP393kQf7kdeWG2QoKO1IPiP280cnMCFkkg2VwAHFmCAS3RirXTrBXCmHL-HLvabMlpFeMbOBdgcQG7wiwWK1_gxXoHZ2JK8X-d0gaFcEBJRhDXBiXAmh5SXzaCnwjdUkfbey/s280/Sunset+at+Bryce+Canyon+032.JPG)
How the flower looks, when it opens.
I researched for the flower's name, but couldn't find it.
