The place is so big that I'm sure you will have many beautiful pictures of places I didn't see. I wish I had taken a picture of the moose I thought I saw but couldn't have, because there are no moose in Arizona. I was visiting a number of national parks that year so maybe I must have confused it with somewhere else. Wherever it was, we startled each other in a wooded area and he made it pretty clear that I was the intruder. Since he outweighed me by a thousand pounds and had antlers the size of office desk tops, I was more than happy to retreat . . . moving backwards to where the trees were the closest together and trying to eliminate a clear charging path. He reminded me that these parks aren't museums but rather living environments for wild animals.
Pointed remarks appreciated.
Don't take the beauty of nature for grand-ed … savor it, cherish it, protect it.
What an amazing rock formation Mac. You really captured that "on the edge" feeling.
Been accused of spending too much time "at the (metaphorical) edge".
But, I'm getting older and … safer.
Come in out of the ugly on the FP and enjoy the grand view.
Good night … I hope some will get the point.
This is a ''thumbs up'' photo for sure Mac.
I guess I missed a lot while I was at the Grand Canyon because I didn't see this. Thanks for posting.

My first time there I had just had a torn quadriceps tendon surgically re-attached … I photographed it while getting around on a walker.
You should, if the opportunity arises, re-visit … the first time one is too awe-struck to fully gather it in …
But the second time, one is still too awe-struck to fully gather it in … but possibly a bit more deliberate in taking photos.
Yeah, it's breathtaking and enormous.

I have many more to post and hopefully others will afford you a first look; but hopefully you'll get back there.

I've been there four times Brother, even hiking down into the canyon once, still haven't begun to see it all....
It's too big to completely comprehend....
Wow, amazing, and so very grand!
Wow!
