The next morning we went to the Grand Canyon. Needless to say. I got up at 4:30. But. It was quite worth it! 

My brother Martin, and my sister Merilee, both did something that was very brave. They took this path that wasn't really a path, to get to a good look-out point. I got a few pictures and thought I would share them. :) If you are scared of heights, you probably won't want to look at these pictures. :/ 

^ In the pic above you will see the look-out point that they climed down to. You will see the flat precipice that they climbed down to. 

I was zoomed all the way to 250 mm and this was still how far they were from me!!!

Climbing back up the trail(that wasn't really a trail.. ) 

As we were about to leave we saw this beautiful bird sitting on the railing... had to get a picture. Unfortuneatly,  I did not have the right kind of lens and could only zoom to 135 mm. :( oh well. still got some nice photos...

parting shot...
