We have just come back from our sunset photo session of the Grand Canyon. The temperature remains where it has been, barely above zero, all day. The snow and rain has gone but it remains cloudy with occassional clear patches. All the photos in this blog entry were taken during the sunset, a fantastic time of day to be photographing. Enroute to the lookouts on the South Rim of the canyon we saw a large group of deer. And later on when we visited the Grand Canyon village we saw deer walking along the railway tracks and young ones grazing on the grass nearby.
Tonight we had dinner at Sophie's Mexican Kitchen at the village of Tusayan just down the road from where we are staying. The food was amazing and the service was fast and very friendly.
Had my first experience at a gas station. Talk about making life difficult. Three types of fuel but only one hose. And because of the drive aways they have it is not like home where you pick up the pump, fuel up and then pay the console operator. Very confusing and if the guy didn't have my Visa card I would
have driven away and got fuel somewhere else.
Up early tomorrow morning for sunrise over the canyon followed by breakfast in readiness for our drive back to Las Vegas to meet back up with the rest of our crew. It will be sad to say goodbye to the Grand Canyon but I have no doubt that we will back some time in the future.

Great photos
Hi guys, the blog has been great to read, and this morning I've been really hooked by your Grand Canyon photos. Never having been there before they give a different perspective...and the fact that it's as cold as it is! Great photo's today though...thanks for sharing. Dave
