Listen
Smell the pungent juniper
Feel the gentle power of beauty
Ancient Black Rock hunches on the distant horizon
A dark cloud above means rain will soon be upon us
The awesome monolith at your feet is Tse Na'ashjee'ii - Spider Rock
Holy Spider Woman taught the People how to weave
There is purity and strength here
And places sacred to the People
Places strong in the oneness
of earth and sky and all things
I am indeed it's child....absolutely I am earth's child

Once again TR, I have never been here but now I want to go. Fantastic photos! I, too, am a child of the earth. I want to be outside. I love to be outside. I know the power of beauty. Thank you for showing it to us.
Most of us that we know here are earth's children. Like Kathie, I don't thrive when inside.
You see the most beautiful places. Thanks, Tim, for sharing such wonder.
Through the eyes of a child, all is wonder.
Superb photo essay. Lovely, lovely, lovely!
Those photos brought tears to my eyes. I have visited another part of the Grand Canyon and its awesomeness is still engraved in my heart, Now I need to visit the area in your photos.
What a great song. I concur completely. What else is so amazing, beautiful & wonderful?
very useful read. I would love to follow you on twitter. By the way, did you know that some chinese hacker had busted twitter yesterday again.
Stunning. I wish everyone could see the world as you do through the lens of a camera. So incredible. What a gift.
Breath-taking. Your work is nothing short of spiritual. I love it. Thanks TR.
