Cherish is my favorite word, and I cherish the ability of turning the routine into a beautiful moment.
Nature creates in me, a spiritual and meditative time to bring peace, harmony and balance, into an otherwise ordinary day~

Colours of the Grand Canyon National Park~



Believe it, or not, we had not planned on a visit to the Grand Canyon National Park, but we were so glad that we changed our minds.
It was magnificent!

This is the second National Park system, of a total of ten that I will be sharing with you in coming days and weeks. 
It is taking a lot longer than I had anticipated to gather them all together and then select my favorites to share with you. 

Happy Monday
Happy Week
Happy Mosiac Monday~

I am linking up with Mary for:

A Painted Lady butterfly at the top of the Grand Canyon pathway~
 
 
 


The Least Chipmunk, or Golden Manteled Ground Squirrel...not sure which this was... was leaping from such high walls, I could not believe how agile it was~
 
 
 


This squirrel is neither the Kaibab Squirrel, or Albert's Squirrel that live in the park,
and so I was not sure of the 
species name of this guy, who ran across my path to take a dust bath~
 
 
 
 


The river looked like a tiny thread so far at the bottom of the canyon~
 
 
 
 


In the mosaic below, I took images from the same vantage point, only I took the lens out a little further on each one taken~
