My early morning commute PAYOFFS!!

As much as I REALLY DISLIKE getting up at 5:30 every morning and facing an hour of rush hour.. it does have a couple payoffs for me. :) I get to see the most AMAZING SUNRISES!! They are breathtaking at times and I find myself being very distracted by them. (and taking lots of pictures) :) I allow myself to gaze at them in wonderment while I'm driving because most of the time in rush hour, I'm NOT driving.. just sitting there wishing I was!

Another payoff for waking up so early is that I get to see all the birds flying over the freeway when I'm driving through the Reservation. I LOVE IT and I am captivated any time I see a huge flock. Mostly I see geese flying in the V formation. It's so fascinating to me. Why do they do that? It's so odd, yet amazing to me. I love it!

Also, I'm a big fan of rain, clouds and wind. :) I suppose you could say that I love the ELEMENTS!!! (well, the AZ elements...) One of my FAVORITE things about a really really REALLY windy day of driving on the 101 through the REZ is when the dry tumbleweeds are ripped from the earth and with FURY they get blown onto the freeway which starts a fun game of tumbleweed dodge-ball with all the cars!! hahaha! I find myself laughing so hard watching the cars try to slow down or speed up so they don't get hit! Once the large dry tumbleweed slams into a car it explodes and resembles a handful of pixie sticks being tossed in the air and blown away in the wind. It is my favorite thing EVER!!! LOL. I've lost the game a few times and have been hit myself with some tumbleweeds but it makes me laugh that much harder! :) Okay, so maybe I have to find things on my commute that ENTERTAIN ME!! :) LOVE ME!
