The Grand Canyon - Now and Then

So, I am still new at this "blogging" stuff and apparently uploaded the pictures in the wrong order. I thought I could move them around but I can't... or at least can't figure out how. Being somewhat pressed for time they will stay in the order they are. All the pictures are from this year's anniversary trip with the exception of the last. Enjoy! A celebration beer and bagel at the bottom of the Grand Canyon for the birthday boy!!

The famous... huh-hem... infamous Ranger Matt. (Taken on our ascent out of the canyon.)

Love was everywhere!!! Even the prickly pear cactus was in the mood!

Sunrise from the trail on the North Rim. Yes, that's a cup 'o' tea in my hand. (gotta love the reflective gear... you know you gotta be careful with all those cars on the trail... hehe!)

Jim gearing up for the crossing of the Mighty Colorado River. Not for those who are scared of heights!! (Funny... the Colorado was named for it's RED waters, yet they appeared rather GREEN that day.)
