"The glories and beauties of form, color, and sound unite in the Grand Canyon- forms unrivaled even by the mountains, colors that vie with sunsets, and sounds that span the diapason from tempest to tinkling raindrop, from cataract to bubbling fountain."
~ John Wesley Powell
Back in November, my mother, my sister, Kelly, and I decided to take a day trip to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. What an overwhelming sight. We went to Bright Angel Point/Grand Canyon Lodge (the lodge was already closed for the season) and then drove up to Imperial Point, the highest point of the canyon. I enjoyed Bright Angel Point because I have read the story of Brighty of the Grand Canyon by Marguerite Henry to my class before and I love it. We enjoyed a picnic lunch at the entrance to the canyon, and what a wonderful time to go. The aspens were the most amazing gold, the weather was perfect,the tourists were gone, and there was a storm on the horizon. I took over a hundred pictures, but these were a few of my favorites. Maybe I will share some more in future posts.
Standing on the rim and looking around, I could just imagine a little donkey heading back down into the warmth of the deep canyon from a small ranch in the Kaibab Forest just before the snows start to fall.

I love the storm on the horizon. This is such an amazing image and I am grateful to have this picture to remember it.
