It was very strange how close he let us get to him before leaving his lunch.

And then it just walked right on by…

Took a while to spot this one
Smoke on the Water
Sunday we got off to an early start and we said one last goodbye to Arnica.
Smoky
Saturday we had a rather convoluted day of ensuring we were on the right side of the fire so we could safely exit the park. We had originally planned to spend Saturday night in Grant Village, but the road between Grant Village and Lake Village was under threat from the fire. The road did end up being closed for several days.
Fire where there’s smoke
Friday we had moved to Grant Village, south of the fire
Partly Cloudy?
The forecast for Thursday was sunny. But I noticed a large cloud a few miles away from the Lake Village area.
I am trying to get the hand of inserting images in eg so they pass on to LJ
OK, we seem to be working again
This is the post I wanted to get through to LJ
I feel like such a ninny this evening. Here I am rushing home to see the new Ken Burns The National Parks film, not even trying to get the picture of the sunrise from Fishing Bridge since the sun wasn’t going to be rising at Fishing Bridge – thanks to Arnica – and when I get home at 6:30, I found out I needn’t have rushed. See, I figured that Mystery comes on at 9 PM, so that 2-hour National Parks episode would have to start at 7. And I made it home with half an hour to spare. Then I find out that they aren’t showing Mystery tonight and that they were showing Burns’ film at 8, repeating at 10. I am such a ninny. Even if the sun wasn’t going to rise this morning, I may have been able to get some pictures of early morning in the Grand Canyon. But Arnica probably was going to bollix that too.
I hope to have some pictures of my vacation on-line shortly. I downloaded them to Elaine’s laptop and haven’t retrieved them yet. (What did you do on your vacation? I spent 5 days traipsing around in the caldera of the world’s largest active volcano! It’s really cool!)
