When people walk around…some people look down to see where they are going and some people look up to see where they are. Once, when I looked up, this is what I saw…

So i was taking a picture of some nachos signs when this ferris wheel was caught in the background…

So this is the second of a series of Grand Canyon shots that I have posted and this one is probably my favorite. It is taken from the south rim and is easily accessible as it was taken at a tourist turn-off along the rim road. I still need to get to the bottom of the canyon for a walkabout… (with my camera of course)

So I was off to the mountains today and had the camera along just incase something tickled my trigger finger. I found this tree and found out that it was older than the dirt around it. It was in an area between sub-alpine forest and tundra. It was atop the hill all by itself, so it was obviously was the king of the hill. Further down the hill was a a small forest of bristlecone pine trees. Some of these trees are over 1,600 years old. The area is also known for it’s songbirds and flowers.

I hate it when subjects are rude enough to splash the lens. I was polite enough not to say anything. It is now past spring and all of the bears here in the Rockies are awake and you can find one or two in the hiking trails if you look and listen for them…
