Wonderful capture, Patricia! I bet you really enjoyed your time there. The only time I've been to the South Rim is in winter time. Must go again. Do take care. #1531740

Hi Thomas....thank you so much....this was a wonderful place and yes you will have to come here again I'm going to try for Monsoon Season in late summer for some thunderclouds (maybe if I'm not too chicken)....who knows, maybe we'll shutterbug together! Have a glorious day ahead...=^..^= #10728213

I missed the Canyon last year. We usually drive there when we are on our Vegas vacation. Short on time we went to Bryce and Zion, which was wonderful also~
This is a wonderful capture,as,I have never seen this Shoshone Point~ #10728281

Thanks, Millieanne. Since we live about four hours south of the South Rim I don't know why I don't get up there more often....probably because I'm usually headed off to new places....this is a spot I will return to...it was wonderful! #10728605

Thanks, Tammy & Dee. Dee, we didn't know about it either until I read about it in a hike book...then found out more about the trail from a park ranger....it's so worth the one mile hike in!!! Yes, when you come back out west maybe we can go together.... #10741660

What a wonderful capture of Shoshone Point. The lighting is gorgeous and I love the POV. It was definitely worth the hike!
I may have to visit the canyon again, it has been too many years.

A very striking scene. Isn't it odd how we always seem to travel to look at places but not in our own area. Good to hear you have been on a holiday. #10870153

Patricia A. Casey level-deluxe October 13, 2013

Hi Tony...thank you so much. I'm still in the duldroms with respect to my photography....since retiring I've joined two other clubs in our community and have been extremely busy there...Lapidary and Silvercraft. I'm doing most of my learning on copper, which I love anyway. Silver is very expensive (we won't even talk about gold LOL) I've always loved rocks and have them all over my house. Now I get to grind and polish them and use them in jewelry I'll create. Anyway....gone on too long.....have a wonderful evening and warmest regards to Chris...=^..^= #10870322

Helloooooooooo down there! :D I am here to give you a friendly nudge.

~ ~ ~ WHERE THE HECK ARE YOU??? ~ ~ ~

Oh wait. That didn't come out right. HeeHee...

I stop in to see if you have posted and still nothing for a while. I hope to see you here soon, Patricia. Drop in and give me a nudge when you do okay?

How about teasing the crowd with ONE Canada photo??? :D I'd be so honored!

I miss you around here. :D
