    A few shots of a burrowing owl I saw at work this morning. Apologies for the poor composition. I'm not a photographer so I used the digital camera I had on hand, and I took these from my truck since I didn't want to get out and spook the little guy.

    I spent July 29 & 30 up at the Grand Canyon. It's magnificence is only exceeded by the mind's limited ability to grasp its enormity. All the statistics involving the canyon are on grand scale. I guess that's why the it's only fitting to bring it to you in UHQ images....

    This is the canyon of the Little Colorado River. Not sure how deep it is, but if you fell in it would take a loooooong time to hit bottom. One remarkable aspect of the canyon is that it is carved through relatively flat terrain, which makes it difficult to discern at eye level. You can see a bit of it on the far left as it wends its way towards the observer, but in the middle distance you can't see it at all even though it cuts through the desert from right to left...

    Oh, and that ledge in the foreground above? The first step off of it is about 300 feet down!

    And that's just a little rivulet tributary feeding the actual canyon itself, which looks like this....

    There were some nice views outside the canyon too...

    The local Navajo set up a flea market near the scenic overlook. There was some really fantastic crafts on display...

    My niece and sister bought several items. I wanted one of the large pots but they were too expensive for me. The price was right though if I had the money. All the workmanship on all the items was absolutely exquisite.

    Not specifically "nature" but it's a pretty impressive artifice. I've included the information signs so you can read about it.
