Let's talk soon! <br /><br />Thanks Donna, the canyon is so vast and I'm afraid the shots didn't capture that to its benefit - I was using a 105mm lens...but with my family in the shot it at least gives the idea of the scale. <br /><br />NSARH, Thank you...I look forward to following along...your photography is inspiring ;)<br /><br />Carolyn, that is the lovely thing about blogs - the way we can visit so many places in a day and almost feel like we've been there! <br /><br />Thanks for hosting Eliza - I appreciate you including me ;)<br /><br />Jennifer - Victor was a really good singer to boot! I'd love to hear what word you choose - it is so cool to review your accomplishments at the end of the year and see how they reflect the word chosen in January.Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-91610124776244104362011-01-03T19:16:32.721-06:002011-01-03T19:16:32.721-06:00Big Bend is a beautiful park as you demonstrate he...Big Bend is a beautiful park as you demonstrate here in your lovely post. That you were serenaded with song as you hiked out of the canyon makes the day even more memorable.<br />I also read through the last post and very much like the idea of a word as a goal rather than the standard resolution. I think your choice of word is perfect. What would I choose for my word for 2011?

I think it is charming that someone sits in a national park singing for tips... I'd much rather listen there than in a stale subway station!<br /><br />Your beautiful water lily photo is listed in today's issue of How to Find Great Plants.

It is still on my list of places to go.

As a born and bred easterner, I am endlessly fascinated by the stark open beauty and sheer scope of the west. My heart is in Wyoming where we have summered, but your pictures of Big Bend are equally as breathtaking.Laurriehttp://laurries.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527178868601047846.post-7514284322408605712011-01-03T06:00:28.792-06:002011-01-03T06:00:28.792-06:00Beautiful photos.
