“Royal Bryce"

On a cold February day we visited Bryce Canyon National Park, in southern Utah. This was my first visit so you can imagine my “Awe” and my excitement too! This view is facing east; towards Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. We were lucky the sky was so clear on this day, and from up here we could see for miles! We live in such an amazing world, with such beauty but what I saw before me was truly, truly breath taking. I'll never forget my awe for what Mother Earth had created. I recognized how very lucky we where to be there on a sunny day and (photographically) how lucky that bits of snow still remained. Although it was very cold (-5C) and windy along the canyon's edge, as we hiked down to the bottom of the canyon where it was incredibly warm and soon we were peeling off our jackets! Although this isn't my favorite Brice Canyon photo it certainly shows its vastness.
