Where I've Gone, Oh the Places I've Seen

 

For the past five days, I've been here.

The Grand Canyon, Arizona can be summed up in ONE word - spectacular.

Or "Just a big ditch" as my neighbor on the plane expressed. Which is also true. 

Biggest damn ditch I've ever seen!

 I spent a lot of quality time in my favorite sun hat while there to shield my eyes so I could see all the big ditch had to offer. 

My guides were the lovely Katie: Best Friend and Plant Knowledgist Extraordinaire

and

her companion James: Geologist Knowledgist Extraordinaire

 Sunset in Sedona

 Kicking Back on Mesa Tops

 Learning History of the area at the Watchtower

 Avoiding Stepping on (or near) certain Creatures

 Steep Canyon Hikes

And I was constantly trying to capture the canyon light in watercolors much to my own frustration. The Canyon was just too spectacular to capture in paint with only a few short sittings. I promise to share my attempts here soon once I get them scanned. 

Nope, Thank YOU Grand Canyon!
