While stopped to focus on some of the distant rock formations that we could see from the road, several very attractive blue colored birds were visiting the area.

This one looks like it’s purposely ignoring me and my camera.

The drive through the park was closed due to previous fire damage which was disappointing after driving 35 miles to reach it.  While we were stopped

at the visitor’s center, two very thin deer arrived looking for something to eat.  This one raised it’s head long enough for me to snap a photo.

A gecko that is attempting to escape the 100+ degrees, shading up between my window and the sunscreen.  He didn’t stay long after I flashed my camera at him.

We were having lunch at the south rim of the Grand Canyon with our grandson when this CHIPmunk joined us.
