April 21-29 - Free Admission to National Parks
The title says it all. U.S. National Parks Week is back! So go celebrate
by visiting one of our national treasures.
My
personal favorite is the Grand
Canyon. My first glimpse of the canyon was a late summer afternoon
where I caught a spectacular thunderstorm as it rolled across the
canyon, followed by a hint of a rainbow. Back then I was working with 2
Canon AE-1s, one with a wide angle and the other a zoom lens (dating
myself here). One of those photos from that day is in a large frame
hanging in our living room. Later that day as I drove along the eastern
stretch of road along the rim, as it lightened I saw dramatic glimpses
of the canyon. Unfortunately I had ran out of film (digital
photographers are a spoiled bunch today).
There are many more
personal favorites. Yosemite, Yellowstone,
Glacier, Grand Tetons, Bryce,
Zion...
Add to that list: Denali, Mesa Verde, Rocky Mountain
NP...what was I thinking?!?
As you can see from our archives, our
site is in need of a redesign (which we are working on).
Did I tell you about the time when I almost pet a mountain goat at
Glacier? Ahh, I need a vacation.
