I’ve had “Sunrise at Joshua Tree National Park” on my bucket list

Ever since I went to Coachella and fell in love with the desert.

Now, I can check it off my list. Because when I was in California a few weeks ago, I got up well before the crack of dawn to catch this…

And boy was it worth it. 6:00 am never looked so good.

I can’t wait to go back to the desert next spring and check “Coachella 2011” off my bucket list. Till then, I’ll be wearing this scarf and pretending it isn’t pouring rain in Vancouver.

P.S. Check “Win a £ 385.oo pearl necklace” off your bucket list.
