The following pictures were taken around sunset on our last evening at Grand Canyon.
They were all taken around Mather Point, so you will notice some of the same rock formations….just presented in different ways.
In the last blog “2 Billion Years, 2 Billion Views”, I started out wondering about rock ages, and then said that was a question for a geologist. Well, a geologist answered the question! Check out Kitty’s comment….very informative and explained so even I can understand. Also I bought one of the geology books at the GC Bookstore, which I’m reading ( aloud to the dogs for better understanding😀), and that’s helping me get some very fundamental geology info.
Thank you Kitty for taking the time to explain!
The colors seem to pop more with the light from the setting sun.
“When the deep purple falls”…)
I love the way that weed in the center picked up the light.
Okay, good bye for now Grandest of all Canyons. I’ll be back if it’s meant to be.
We have arrived safely at the Prescott National Forest, and are camped right next to Kerry and Annabelle for awhile. Kerry is taking a 3 day class nearby and Annabelle, Joy and Shiloh and I get to hang out together. They became a ‘pack’ a long time ago ( along with Kerry and I), so they get along great.
It’s peaceful here in the forest and I’ve been listening to two woodpeckers refine the entrance way to their homes. They stop periodically to have a snack. Busy birds. More later!

I never tire of your Grand Canyon photos. Just stunning.
Thank you Terri. I’m glad to hear that.
These are just so beautiful. I love that first one, it’s my favorite, but the light in others is wonderful too. Just so beautiful. I’m glad you got to be there and I’m so glad you shared the Canyon with us. Can’t wait to see the forest now!
The first one is my favorite too I think, because of the sky. It seems like in Arizona, the sunset takes up the whole sky….it turns colors all the way around, not just in the west….thus, the colors while standing on the south rim, looking north. Just makes you cry.
Your pictures of the Grand Canyon are amazing!!!! I love the way the light plays in the pictures….great captures!!! Enjoy your time with Kerry and Annabelle!!!
Thank you Gerri. I’m glad you enjoy them until YOU get there yourself.
We think that these 3 dogs have bonded together better than any others any of them have met in their lives. They are truly family.
Beautiful. Just stunning! I’ve been there once, and it was snowing in early October…the snow clouds blocked our view. Can’t wait for the chance to revisit.
Hi Cindy. I understand snow in the Grand Canyon is very beautiful too… but of course not if it’s blocking your view and you can’t see!
I imagine rain storms would be something to see too!
