This was a wonderful sunrise while camping near West Canyon on Lake Powell last weekend.  Our tent and a Lund skiff is our version of a house boat.  🙂  It was a great time!

Williams, Arizona

Last Thursday night in Williams, Arizona.

We moved to Williams, Arizona – a cute, little historic town that has done a great job at embracing its Route 66 history.  Tomorrow we head up to Page and Northern Arizona red rock country!

We moved here partly because campground reservations weren’t available for the weekend in the Grand Canyon -and it put me closer to some other places I wanted to photograph.

It also put me closer to Phoenix, which is where I was for my nature photography seminar Saturday at the Desert Botanical Gardens.  I had a great time, and meet a bunch of really nice, passionate photographers.  I look forward to doing more.

Colorado River

A couple of people enjoying a sandy beach along the Colorado River, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

Descending into the Grand Canyon is such a different experience then standing on the rim.  It is far more then escaping the crowds. It is feeling and seeing the river up close.  It is the change in perspective – looking up at the massive canyon walls instead of down into them.  Your perspective changes with every step into the Canyon – it is an amazing experience!

Grand Canyon Sunset

Sunset last night over the Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona.

By the way, in case you are in the area, I’m doing a nature photography workshop at the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens this Saturday.  It will be a three hour workshop followed by a two hour photo walk afterwards where you can practice what you just learned.  The price includes admission into the gardens.  I have more then 40 signed up with room for a few more.
