Photo Hunt #30: Thankful


IMG_0729, originally uploaded by M'roy.

There is a lot to be thankful for (life, family, job, roof over one's head, food on the table, etc). But for today's theme and entry I chose to share this Grand Canyon photo I took on February 17, 2009.

I am extremely thankful to have another chance to see Grand Canyon and to marvel at the grandeur and magnificence of this great vista with snow on the ground. I am thankful I was seeing it again with my husband. I've seen it in Spring and Winter, next mission to see it in Summer and Fall.

Happy Photo Hunting everyone. Wanna join? Click here.

    How amazing to see it Spring and Winter. I have seen it only in summer. Twice, but still. I've always been intrigued by the winter photos of it. This is beautiful.

    That is a great shot. The little people kind of portrayed us - very minute in the grand scheme of things.

    Thanks for visiting Norwich Daily Photo and leaving your comment. Come back tomorrow!

    Lovely and awesome view.

    I've only been to the Grand Canyon once and it was on a foggy December morning many years ago. It was awful since I didn't get to see anything. The fog descended on the canyon and blocked what would have been a grand view. Sadly, I haven't had the chance to go back since. Someday maybe.

    Nice shot!! I've been to Grand Canyon twice (7 yrs ago) but I didn't get a nice shot and that time my digital cam was only 1.3MB hahaha. I wish I could go back there it's really an awesome place and you would really think how great is God.

    oh wow I too have always wanted to see The Grand Canyon up close.

    We can only get a very limited glimpse every once in a while when I am on the truck with my hubby. I hope that I can see it someday too up close.

    This is a wonderful photo and a great take on the theme.

    I didn't miss you this week either!

    I like this Grand Canyon shot with all the people enjoying a view that looks completely dangerous. Your shot gives us the nature of these outcroppings and also a picture of the far canyon's cloud shadows and color. Nicely done.

    I've seen it a few times. I vaguely remember a scattering of dusty white snow one time. Most of the time I've seen it at the beginning or end of Summer. It's very impressive but I was busy being jaded back then and didn't appreciate it nearly enough.
