I can still remember my first experience of standing at the edge of the Grand Canyon and looking into it. It was so awesome, it took a fair amount of restraint to prevent me from jumping into it, because I was certain I could fly.  – Mark Goulston

I was so overwhelmed the first time I experienced Grand Canyon that I started to cry. I don’t cry easily..

Look, Simba. Everything the light touches is our kingdom. – Mufasa

I loved being able to share this experience with my daughter, and I asked a stranger to take a photo of us. She was very sweet, and happy to do so. And I am very happy that you let me share the experience with you! I hope your week is fabulous!

Love,

Ms Zen

  3. I never been though was so close, within 20 miles believe it or not. Always a regret that my family didn’t stop (I was a teenager). Though my husband was on a 21 day fire assignment about 15 years ago and he was camped out on the North Rim and had the best views. He had it to himself the entire time, can you imagine that!! Crazy! One of these days I hope to see it.

  5. I’ve only flown over the GC, and it was awesome enough, therefore I can’t imagine being on the ground and seeing it up close. To think it was created over millions of years by a river flowing through it…mind-blowing!

I decided to share this photo for a "Back Catalog Photo Challenge". This is a hilarious alpaca I rescued several years back. There was this old lady living on a nearby ranch that had to find homes for all her animals, due to her age. She had 4 alpacas. They were a little skittish due to not being handled so much, but I’ve always dreamed about having a small herd of alpacas and brought them home. Very soon their skittishness was gone, and especially the one in this photo had a great sense of humor. They were so smart! I called them Eenie, Meenie, Miniee, and Moe. It’s Eenie in the picture. He used to sneak up on me when I least expected, and either steal something from my person, or blow warm air on my neck. I never heard him coming, and I swear he laughed when he made me jump high up in the air. Among the things he stole from me was; gloves fro my back pocket, my hat, a pocket knife, bale strings, and he even attempted to take my gun out of its holster but didn’t succeed with that. Eenie was a character. He used to follow me around as a dog. He would also do tricks. In fact all of them would do anything you suggested for a tortilla chips! When I showed young horses the horse trailer the first time I often used Eenie to make the experience a good one. He associated the trailer with tricks, and tortilla chip = his favorite place! I hope you are having a fabulous day! Love, Maria https://sagittariusviking.com/2019/10/17/photo-challenge-back-catalog/ #alpaca #ranch #ranchlife #backcatalog

It’s all about experiences, and the healing power of nature. Life is about choosing happiness. I entered the magic world of photography when I was five years old. My gypsy soul have taken me to many different countries, and definitely taught me to be more humble. I believe that you are what you eat, body and soul. I enjoy growing my own food, and spending time outdoors. My German Shepherd is always by my side. Horses is a very important part of my life. Above everything else is my daughter. A Sagittarius loves to travel, have an open mind and, and a philosophical view. It motivates them to wander around the world in search of the meaning of life. Sagittarius is extrovert, optimistic and enthusiastic, and likes changes. A lot of that perfectly describes me. The fact that my ancestors, on both parents sides, were vikings, doesn’t exactly lessen my desire to explore. Maybe a slightly more mindful exploring, compared to the average viking. My blog, and my art prints is a results of my (inner and outer) explorations. Love, Maria
