Heading south off Monterey on a street, south of Country Club in Palm Desert. Monday, July 15, 2013. The orange sun is probably directly over San Jacinto Peak in the distance.

Jen.....an unbelievably athletic woman, can jump higher than I've ever seen. She loves photography too and how lucky am I that she willingly and happily, or is that joyously, loves jumping and movement in front of my lens. t. u. Jen.
