The end of January, I was returning home from Grand Canyon, and when I drive alone I take lots of photos. There’s always a good bit of sky.
Upon getting home and unpacking I noticed this sundog out my back window.
About an hour later these puffballs caught my eye.
Then changed to this backbone.
Slowly drifted apart.
Changed color.
And said goodnight.

Last Tuesday soft female rain fell for hours into a canyon full of cloud. Day time visitors were disappointed. But late afternoon offered views of Grand Canyon as the last rays of sunlight illuminated the sky.

From where I sit the morning colors are really much better with more clouds to reflect the rising sun. But I’m lazy in the mornings. By afternoon, most of the clouds have drifted away and the evening light is soft.

What a marvelous way to end a day in the desert.
I could spend weeks here.
Getting lost…
…and found.

I never tire of sunsets, as I’m sure none of you do either.

I got to the coast and looked for a place to stay for the night, desperately wanting to find internet so I could post about my eventful day caving and ostrich riding.
I drove past Hartenbos to Mossel Bay and back thinking I’d spend a little extra tonight and get a room with a view.
But I settled with the Riveria in Hartenbos, with no internet.
And a very comfortable set up with front and back door.
I was the only guest in the dinning room (top floor).
Their loss as the meal was delicious.
And the view superb.
Of the setting sun.
Plus sweet dreams of exploring more of the coast.
Winter sunsets are often spectacular and this may not be the best one I’ve shown. But it’s a “from a window shot” and more specifically, from a slightly different angle than the little house only 30 feet away.

Sunset over the Colorado River from South Kaibab trail
Hiking into Grand Canyon provides so many different experiences and stimuli as to put my mind and body on the verge of overload. After four days surrounded by the ancient stone walls, coming back to the South Rim world slapped culture shock right in my face. I’d have returned to the abyss if my legs would have carried me.

I’ll be posting the hike very soon.
