iPhone Morgan Hill

My morning walks have become so much more interesting since I got my iPhone. I get up earlier looking for exceptional light, lively color, or a mystical apparition. On this particular morning, as I crossed my street, I happened to glance back, and whoa! there was the moon setting behind my house. The light was perfect, the sky was blue, and the moon was perfectly positioned.
I kept moving, looking forward toward the sunrise and glancing back toward the moon. I didn't have much time. Once the sun was up, the moon would fade into the bright sky. There were no clouds to reflect the sun's early glow, so I looked for a tree to partially block the light and add some interest to the photo. The Mount Hope Cemetery on Spring Street proved to be the perfect place. I got the sun just as it crested the hill...
but look what was happening in the west. El Toro (elev. 1,400 feet) glowed with morning light, and that moon! I was dazzled.
What a great way to start a day.
