This is the only photo I can post from the Grand Canyon right now. Not because I didn’t take any others. I actually took more than 200. (More on that in a second.) But this one is the only one I thought to take with my iPhone. And I almost forgot to take one, just for the post. So it’s the end of the day, near sunset. Nice enough, but not the best one I got all day, by any means.

My Nikon, being a few years old, doesn’t give me a way to get my photos to the iPhone. Or the cloud. Or anywhere, really, without going to the laptop first. That’s another minor issue with not bringing the laptop on this trip. But I can live with that. I’m sure someone will come up with an accessory—a card reader, or something—for the iPhone soon. In the meantime, I want to edit down the photos to twenty or so before posting them, anyway. Speaking of Grand Canyon photos, I took quite a few today, but not nearly enough to fill one of the 8GB cards I bought. Guess I could have just gotten one of those instead of two. But that’s okay. I can always use the other somewhere else. I highly recommend the Grand Canyon in winter. It’s a little risky, with the snow, and all. But it’s so beautiful. We completely lucked out and got here the day after a snow storm. So the roads were all fine. With the exception of the hotel parking lot, which doesn’t look like it was plowed well at all. Fairly surprising and disappointing, if you ask me. Tomorrow, onward to California.
