Grand Canyon Winter

in

Grand Canyon winter

Buttes caped in the whitest robes

Pure and unspoiled

A picture perfect postcard

Painted by the Master’s hand

≈ 

A beautiful sight

Burnished under an endless sky

Her majesty unchallenged

She harbors life in this cold

Though her shores appear barren

≈ 

Deer, eagle, rabbit

All survive her harsh winter

As done for eons

Wondrous in their fortitude

Man has yet to ruin them

 ≈

Protected from harm

One of the seven wonders

She most surely is

May this always be so

For generations to come

    Let’s hope so – hoping it stays protected and beautiful — hoping all we visitors don’t love it to pieces. o.O

    Great series —

      Let’s hope it does stay protected. So far they have done a very good job, but special interests tend to throw a wrench in things when there is money to be made.

      It really is very beautiful in the winter as well. The last time I was there in the winter I was working and when I came out of the building I was in the entire property was full of deer. It was incredible.

      Thank you Kev, it is just as beautiful a place in winter as it is in summer.
