So much more interesting with the clouds and shadows than just a plain ol' blue sky! ;-)

Aunt Tea-
Yes and no. yes - I coulda stayed and taken pics all day long - the wind kept moving those clouds all around and changing everything so quickly. no - it was WINDY and superduper cold because it was WINDY. I was too cold to even take the time to set up the tri-pod. Bad photographer, I was.

I so love these shots. Reminds me of our 24 day trip out West 2 1/2 years ago. Spectacular!

Wow! These really make me want to take a trip to the canyon! I've never been. Even your rainy day photos are great.

These rock! That last one is a gobsmacker! I'm not British, but I like to pretend.

I'm at a loss for words.

And thinking I need to make a trip to the Grand Canyon.

WOWZA! These are fantastic, and I LOVE that you were lucky enough to have a partly cloudy day for photos, so much better than clear blue sky! The first, last, and only time I was at the canyon was the first winter my husband and I were dating and my parents were visiting for Christmas and we all drove there together and it was awkward, snowy, dang cold, and I couldn't wait for it to end. SO glad that we will be there for the next three years and can go back with camera in hand! Lovely work!
