First Trip in 2016

Tagged on to a business trip, my adventure to Bryce Canyon started on New Year's Day!

The first "surprise" was a 3-hour flight delay for no apparent reason, so I didn't get to Bryce until well after dark...  The 5-hour drive from Vegas to Bryce Canyon was pleasant.  This time, I played a CD that I used to play in my office about 14 years ago when I worked 14 hours a day, 6 days a week -- brutal times trying to survive the corporate world!  Believe it or not, I even asked myself (while driving) how I made it through those harsh, LONG days and years...  Well, I was young, fearless and energetic! 

The next two days were great.  I forced myself to get up at 5:30am each morning to go to the park just to make sure I didn't miss anything... 

Did a lot of hiking -- in the pure white snow surrounded by red canyons.  Finally was able to enjoy the solitude -- it was heaven!!

Took a few pictures with my heavy, complicated cameras.  Once again, I was trying to imagine how wonderful life would be if I didn't need to worry about photography.  Maybe one day, I will have the courage to travel the world with my iPhone and a small point-n-shoot automatic camera.  I will then be able to enjoy the world's most beautiful moments with my own wide-open eyes -- instead of seeing them through a teeny-tiny view finder!!
