I grew up in Arizona and have been to the Grand Canyon and even viewed it from a helicopter. I have to say after viewing hundreds of pictures of this amazing place I believe I like the few you posted here the best. Great job. The mist really works well in these shots.
People can sure be stupid...but I am more concerned as to why a mother grizzly would walk right through cars and people with her cubs. I am sure the cars didn't just swarm in the matter of seconds. They had to have been parked there already. Her behavior doesn't seem to be typical, in my opinion. Seems like she would be running the other way.
Are my eyes playing tricks on me? The back legs in the second deer shot look like they are on backward or something strange. I don't know...must be my eyes. Love the turtles!
How big was it? I've seen beetles, the big black horned beetles, grow about 3 or 4 inches in length. I have never seen one like this though. Great shots.
