Cloud Canyon, morning

Set my alarm for six am and for the first time in three days, I actually got up when it went off. When I emerged from the tent 15 minutes later, I had to check the time again, on my phone and on my watch, because the sky was barely a shade lighter than it had been when I went to sleep, and the moon was fully shining overhead. And no birds sang. It wasn't until just before I opened this book to write that I realized I'm on the far end of the time zone. The sun rises later a few hundred miles west of home.
