How are you?<br /><br />Ha, I thought I was the only one to have spent only an hour at the Grand Canyon. lol... We just about had time for lunch and a short walk there before we had to drive all the way back to the Phoenix area, where I was staying with family.<br /><br />Guess we'll both have to re-visit. It's a marvel. I've heard that you really have to do multiple hikes to see it, because the grand-scale overview is simply too overwhelming. <br /><br />My love to you. I hope you're not too cold up there. We're still freezing, here on LI.<br /><br />I'll be over to visit....Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-66579742427062822582010-01-11T13:39:27.241-07:002010-01-11T13:39:27.241-07:00Susanne - Ah, you are back in COLD Florida and I a...Susanne - Ah, you are back in COLD Florida and I am back in COLD New York! It's so bitter that I think I froze the surface of my eyeballs the other day, trying to take my daughter's dog out for a walk. I need my aqueous humor to do photography, so they'd better thaw out! <br /><br />Seriously, they DO feel uncomfortable but I'm sure it will pass.<br /><br />I would like to move to AZ one day. I'm in love with the mystery: all the forms of life in the desert, the canyons and red rock and ruins and monuments. So much to see and photograph.<br /><br />Maybe one day we will be neighbors?Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-69243890679792908082010-01-11T13:35:59.407-07:002010-01-11T13:35:59.407-07:00NOTHING PROFOUND - Bravo for you and your passion ...NOTHING PROFOUND - Bravo for you and your passion for life.

I enjoy them too. Too bad that my time in Vegas was short, so I only saw Grand Canyon for 1 hours. May be one day I come back, you just inspired me. Great narration, and I do to believe that rocks emit energy, and powerful one too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts again Lynda, hope all is well, and happy new year 2010.

When I was in the fourth grade my sister and I used to explore a steep, 45-degree hillside (it was in the foothills of the Poconoes). We called it "the mica field" because it was full of all sort of specimens, esp. mica. We loved combing its surface, picking up rocks which we wanted to bring home (but didn't dare). <br /><br />It was a challenge to keep our balance, though, as the slope was so steep. But the place oozed a strange sort of energy and sense of wildness that kept us going back there for years!Lynda Lehmannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10914824862008453219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090919024696057090.post-25086250475104842622010-01-09T11:43:19.283-07:002010-01-09T11:43:19.283-07:00Donnw/2nz - I get creeped out by caves too, althou...Donnw/2nz - I get creeped out by caves too, although I can't remember the last time I entered one of any significant depth. But it's worth the slight angst. The odds are against them collapsing at the time you or I or anybody else enters.
