Grand Canyon National Park, 10-16  
The terrain along the highway to Grand Canyon changed dramatically as we went up: from mountains covered with desert scrub, to boulder strewn hills, to flat, dry grasslands dotted with dwarf evergreens.

 
We arrived at the south rim of Grand Canyon shortly before sunset and were transfixed, unable to leave even after it got dark.





 

A full moon over the canyon.




We will not have internet access for a couple of days, but will be back again asap.

  1. Enjoy your time at the Grand Canyon. In fact, 'Grand' seems too small a word for it--your pictures hint at the mighty presence of a deep and wild power. I love the one with the birds, and also the moon, and also the fading light, and the colors just before twilight, and I could go on and on.

    1. We agree--grand is too small a word. In fact, we keep finding that our words almost trivialize what we see. We like your words best so we have used them to introduce today's blog entry--giving proper credit, of course!
