So that’s what the photos from the Grand Canyon look like. I wasn’t able to get Matt and Kara’s computer to play nicely with my card reader, so even looking at the photos had to wait until I got to California, but a few of them were actually worth the wait.There are about twenty photos in this batch. I took more, but decided to prune out the obvious duplicates. I’ll post the photos from Oak Creek Canyon and Sedona separately. Right now I have a choice: sit here and work on photos, or make myself some lunch and enjoy an exquisitely sunny day.

I have a 4 p.m. play date with a very exuberant Labrador retriever, whose day job is to be a hearing dog for one of Noah and David’s friends. We’re going down to the beach, and we’re planning on having a lovely romp.

Sunset and rock formation photos can wait. It’s time to play.

The circles are irrigation patterns. They're circles because at the centre of each one there's a massive sprinkler.

Brad is right, and I concur on the photos.

I concur as well, having driven cross-country a few times and seen them from the ground. Though don't think the "massive sprinkler" is some monolithic behemoth that rises from the ground at the center and sprays a thousand-yard jet of water... it's actually a big wheeled frame that runs the radius of the field with a pipe along the top. The water pressure turns the wheels and then the water's sprayed from sprinkler heads along the top. It slowly rolls around the field that way... :)
