When You're Flying...

The Grand Canyon and surrounding area proffers some of the most majestic views in the American West, perhaps the world. I'm lucky enough to see it on an almost daily basis. This summer I flew a ridiculous amount and was able to see thunderstorms, rainbows, blue skies, smokey skies, river rafters, friends, abandoned spaces, sunrises and sunsets (often on the same day) and a bunch of neat cloud formations. 

When you're flying, sometimes it looks like you're under the sea... 

Other times it makes big things look little... 

It you can lead you to new places...

Where you'll find old things...

With newly remodeled wood interior!

When you're flying it can make a familiar scene look new...

Or give you a front row seat to the cloud theater...

Or better yet, a birds eye view of the clouds below! 

Sometimes, when you're not flying, your friends come to visit...

And you get to go explore places you'd never seen...

And practice hip poppin'... 

And lava rockin'...

And shadow puppetin'...

And.... whatever this is...

Until you get to fly again!

When you're flying, the rainclouds don't seem so dreary... 

And the rain isn't always menacing...

And you can always find a rainbow...

Even if you can't always find your way...

 

Because eventually...

The way will be illuminated. 

When you're flying you get to see a Bob Ross painting from the sky...

Because the sun always comes back out eventually...

Or in some cases the moon... 

But it always comes back...

To bring out those silver linings.

Sometimes it's the other people who do the flying...

Or in this case, the rafting...

And you get to experience a different kind of adventure!

When you're flying, you can sometimes stop to appreciate a good photo opp...

To appreciate what mother nature can do...

To take a moment to watch something new...

Or to just enjoy the view!

When you're flying at sunrise...

Or sunset...

As long as you know where you've been...

You'll always be able to find your way home.
