Thank you for all the new views and likes from last week, it helps keep me inspired.

This week we visit the north rim of the Grand Canyon.

Sunday, 04/17/2022: Posted photo — Bison outside the Park.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/6, 1/500 s, 300 mm.

This week I am posting from a trip we took to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Not many people go to the north rim since it is not near any population area. To drive from the north rim to the south rim of the Grand Canyon takes about 8 hours from closest entrance to closes entrance.

Before you get the sign for the north rim, you go past a bison farm. What a majestic animal to see up close.

Monday, 04/18/2022: Posted photo — North Rim Entrance.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/60 s, 32 mm.

Here is the sign for the north rim. I have signs from all the national parks that I have entered. It is a good way to remember what parks the following photos were taken. I also like to take photos of signs along the trails.

Tuesday, 04/19/2022: Posted photo — View from our Campsite.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/8, 1/100 s, 55 mm.

This is the view we had when we woke up the few days we were at the north rim. Not a bad view!

Wednesday, 04/20/2022: Posted photo — Prehistoric Ruin.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/100 s, 20 mm.

We were walking the Transept Trail to Bright Angel Point to head into the canyon. We saw a sign for ruins that were used 1000 years ago by Pueblo people. There are many historical ruins in Grand Canyon National Park and other parks in the area.

Thursday, 04/21/2022: Posted photo — Western Tanager.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/6.3, 1/320 s, 300 mm.

As we were approaching the trailhead area, I spotted this colorful bird in a bush. I like how colorful it is. I have sold a few prints of this photo during some of my gallery showings.

Friday, 04/22/2022: Post photo — Lightning.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/10, 1/400 s, 70 mm.

We did not go down into the canyon because of storms in the area. There was tornado and severe thunderstorm warning in the area. When this storm was approaching, I took out my camera and started to take photos. I did not see the second bolt of lightning until I looked at the photo on my computer.

Saturday, 04/23/2022: Post photo — View of the Canyon.

Settings: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XS, ISO 200, f/8, 1/125 s, 40 mm.

As we were leaving the canyon to go from the north rim to the south rim, we stopped an looked at the temples.

That is all for now. Until next week, be safe.
