The Grand Canyon, Arizona

December 22, 2000

(NOTE: Photos were taken with a $149 Intel Digital camera = NOT the best resolution.)

Low-res or not, this is a nice view...
 
 


 
 

Afternoon sun in the canyon
 
 


 
 
 

Bird soaring below me...I couldn't believe this low-res digital caught it!!!

Another peek at the Colorado River
 
 


 
 

A touch of snow in the foreground
 
 


 
 

More snow-dappled foreground along the rim
 
 


 
 

The Bright Angel mule trail can be seen near the bottom of the pic...
 
 


 
 

A couple of the many deer seen grazing the rim at dusk...
 
 

Me with my usual (and bored) sidekick, Nala

Make sure you get close enough to read the words "ASU ALUMNI" on my sweatshirt, will ya!? Hey!!!
 
 

View from the (open window of the) Grand Canyon Railroad train

(NOTE: The next four photos were taken December 1999 with a Minolta Advantix camera.)

With my head out of the window on the train ride from Williams to the Grand Canyon
 
 

One of the "bandits" following up with the horses of the "train robbers" after they boarded the Grand Canyon Railroad train. The singing, guitar-playing "sheriff" (who serenaded the tourists) managed to singlehandedly capture all of the train robbers and save the day so that we tourists could each enjoy (or pretend to enjoy) his train-strolling singing and guitar-playing in relative peace along with (and at no extra charge) a refreshing little bottle of frosty-cold Coca-Cola!

Then the "singing sheriff" scolded me to keep my head INSIDE the train's windows...
 
 

Like this little girl here...

I forgot the name of this little Kansas cutie...
 
 


 
 

Me, December 1999, after I SHUT my window...
 
 

Sunset: Tucson, Arizona

December 20, 2000

(NOTE: Back to the cheap...err...inexpensive digital camera.)

Gate's Pass headed toward Old Tucson
 
 


 
 

Sunset behind Old Tucson
 
 

Sunset: Payson, Arizona

October 28, 2000

(NOTE: The next five photos were taken with a Minolta Advantix camera.)
 


 
 

The sunset got off to a slow start...
 
 


 
 

As the colors deepened gradually...
 
 


 
 

And grew into this colorful scene with rainfall in the background...
 
 


 
 

My Ford Explorer's view of the sunset...
 
 


 
 

In my opinion, this is the most memorable photo taken that day...
 
 

Now that you have seen just a small sample of the beauty

that my home (I'm a second generation Arizona native) state has to offer,

please share your impressions by emailing me! Thanks!
