Day 281: The Bright Angel Trail

From the Lodge there is a 1/4 mile trail to Bright Angel Point, where the best overlook from the Lodge is.  I wandered out there to see the moon come up.  There was lots to see before then! (1/30, f16, 60mm, ISO 320, -1 stop) One for those who don’t like living on the edge… […]

Day 279: The Cliff Rose!

Wednesday, October 13, 2010

I saw this fascinating flower while I was out on Cape Royal. (1/125, f8, 27mm, ISO 320 -1/2 stop) It grows as a tall, tree-like shrub, with pretty little yellow flowers… (1/500, f8, 30mm, ISO 320, -1/2 stop) …but the neat part is the feathery white streamers that float on each “tree”. (1/750, f8, 40mm, […]
