Sun on the confluence of the Little Colorado River and Mt Hayden in foreground right
Last week I was out on the Walhalla Plateau. My day ended with roving at Point Imperial, in between the raindrops. I was windblown and cold so decided to leave early. Then a visitor who I’d seen several times that day walked up to me with a question. As we talked the sun came out and I commented on wanting to see a rainbow. So we walked back to the overlook, and sure enough, my first rainbow at Grand Canyon.

Rainbow over Nankoweap Canyon
It kept fading in and out and breaking up. At one point a small area above the horizon looked like it was raining rainbow. Even pale, I was very excited.

This is my 300th post! I wasn’t sure I’d ever make it this far in less than one year of blogging.

That is a fantastic pic Gaelyn. I am so glad you got a shot of it.
Here it seems as if the rain clouds are building up so hopefully we are going to get some rain soo.
Really - the first rainbow you've seen at the Grand Canyon? I would have guessed you'd have seen one before. Way to go on 300 posts. I've been blogging a little over a year and haven't managed it yet (almost though). And you know what? I posted a rainbow too.
The rainbow photo is gorgeous! If that visitor hadn't stopped you with a question, you would have missed it. It seems that a lot of the best photos come from sheer chance.
awesome shots!
It really is the most photogenic place. I would never want to be away from here.
That's remarkable. So much beauty you have to experience.
Hey! I want to know your secret. How come you can just say you want to see a rainbow and a few minutes later you see it? You must have been a very, very good girl this week. ;-)
The first rainbow for your 300th post. It can't get much more in synch than that!
How wonderful to post a rainbow at Grand Canyon picture in your 300th post! The rain clouds look lovely too.
Rainbows are special. Great photograph.
Nicely shot, I would love to the Grand Canyon one day. Thanks for sharing:)
Really breathtaking shots, Gaelyn! Not that that is unusual for any of your photos!
Have a great weekend! With more rainbows!

Two great shots...the rainbow photo is stunning...not to mention the Grand Canyon...hope to get there some day...
Gaelyn: Two beautiful photos, I like the way the rainbow encompasses the light.
Whoa! Are there days when the beauty just overwhelms you?
Wow 300 post.. congratulations, Gaelyn and well done. You have taken us on some pretty amazing adventures and I for one sincerely appreciate it. You deserve to have that rainbow!
First ever in Grand Canyon? With all the storms there, I'm so surprised. I love it. I love how the end of it looks like it goes into the canyon.
Congrats on your 300th post! I have no idea where I am on that, but know it's nowhere near that and I've been going a little more than a year.
Such beautiful views!!!
Your life sounds idyllic.
Fascinating! It is very hard to capture rainbow, I've never get success of that so far.

Catching up here. I really enjoy your pictures and the ones of the bridge in an early post, fascinating but it could cause me to never go across a bridge again. Really enjoy the ones of Antelope Canyon, what an awesome world.
I see the rainbow. The light in that shot is fantastic over the canyon. It looks like a fairyland.
Breathtaking!
Wow, that is something special!
You have the best on the job views!
The colours in the rocks in the second photo are simply splendid.
Finding a rainbow in the place you call home brings magic into your everyday life and is a great way to celebrate and symbolize your bridging and sharing your life with the world through cyberspace.
Thanks Gaelyn for having an Open Heart.
superb panoramic sights
I can imagine seeing a rainbow from above over the Grand Canyon must be something else.
Happy 300th blog.
Refering to the bridge, yes, its the one I refered to. The bridge talk kind of reminded me that I've never posted that pic.
excellent shots. Dontcha just feel so peaceful when you see a rainbow? Or maybe a sense of wonder. MB
That's the ultimate rainbow! Well done!
Beautiful photos! Can't just be glanced at, must be clicked on!
Thank you for capturing the moment and for sharing it with us. I'll be back to see what's happening next in your life.
I'd love to see the Grand Canyon one day.
Your shot with the rainbow is gorgeous.
Enjoy your weekend!
