Heading out Bright Angel Point trail Thursday afternoon
I’ve discovered monsoon season at Grand Canyon’s North Rim doesn’t always mean rain as the big clouds drift over almost within reach.
Watching it rain on the South Rim about 11 miles away always provides a great show. And if I go out without a raincoat and it does rain I’ll always get wet.
If I look to the skies after the rain has passed with sunshine to my back I don’t always get a rainbow, but sometimes is good enough for me.
When I take a panorama picture it doesn’t always match up quite right, but I’m learning.
The evening light on the canyon walls always changes rapidly and never looks the same twice, no matter how many photos I take.
And Rangers always do get paid in sunsets.

What amazing photographs. Wow, wow, wow. Diane
Wow, Gaelyn - of course, the rainbow is spectacular but the sun setting on the canyon walls is amazing. You're rich in views! I'll show Ben!
Gaelyn, what a wonderful post and you are oh so right. Each of your photos are stunning....I am so jealous, I can feel the breath being taken away as you view these amazing vistas. Thank you so much for sharing.

What magnificent rewards in those scenes, Gaelyn. You are paid in showers, rainbows and sunkissed cliffs. Your photos are brilliant. How did you take the panorama picture. It is stunning. Have a wonderful weekend. (PS this comment may post many times, I struggled with the word verification) (((Hugs))) Jo
Wonderful photos!Have a great weekend!
"Rangers always do get paid in sunsets." Sigh.......I love this blog. I love it there and envy you just a little! Thanks for sharing your world, Gaelyn.
I see the glitches in the panoramic image, but it is still a wonder to behold.
Do rangers also get paid in sunrises?
Or does that qualify more as a bonus?
And those are some fantastic pictures, as always! :)
Not a bad pano! Considering it's free hand shots with no tripod... I'm glad it lasted long enough for you to get out there and get a full view... It was waiting for you to get there and take its picture!
Absolutely stunning, I'd love to spend some time there. We get a similar monsoon season here in Colorado, and it also means regular afternoon thunderstorms (with their rainbows), not constant rain. Mornings are almost always sunny.
Brilliant pictures again Gaelyn. I think in nature (and photography) there is always something new to earn.
Absolutely gorgeous collection of photos! The rainbow shots are beautiful, but I think the evening light on the walls of the canyon is the best. The canyon has so many moods, and you are fortunate to be there to witness them.
Oh, WOW! that first rainbow photo is quite something. I just realised what is the one thing that makes your photos so special to me... it is the "space" that they always portray.
I could look at these a long, long time. I feel the atmosphere.
I like your new banner, too.
Wonderful Gaelyn! I am always learning also!
And if you see a rainbow, or any of a vast array of Grand Canyon exceptional events, you ALWAYS take great photos and share them with your lucky readers!
Oh my gosh..that one photo...they are all beautiful Gaelyn....hugs to you...Michelle
you get paid in sunsets, you get tipped in rainbows. You panorama is perfect
Your pictures are so beautiful. It would be worth getting wet to see those rainbows!
