Storm over Dog Point
When I was out fossil hunting last week (I know, still haven’t posted the fossils but I’m working on it) the sky changed so rapidly I could barely keep up taking photos. This is what it looked like when I arrived at my camp spot overlooking North Canyon, one of many side canyons, this one out of the park but still part of the Grand Canyon.

Gaely,
NOW I understand your question to be an AIR more fully, because you are a park ranger! I have great respect for your occupation, because I've seen the ones at Yosemite!
I visited the Grand Canyon a couple of times in my time before I did any painting. Maybe I should go back and paint there!
Hope to see your fossils soon. I love everything that shows the history of things.
I love your sky pics Gaelyn I really really do…
It does look like the canyon in trying to swallow the clouds. Great capture!
The sky does look low over the canyon.
I look forward to your fossils. I've seen a lot of them, but I don't know how to identify them.
interesting cloud formation whirling its way into the canyon…great capture my friend.
hope all is well in your world. i am anxiously awaiting rain.
hugs
I love how the clouds are pointing down while the trees are pointing up!
Hope you didn't get rained on, Gaelyn! Is it hot there just now?
Jeannette: You will find a LOT of inspitatio in this area. The colors of the mountains are like nowhere else on earth.
We had a day like this too ast week Gaelyn, one minute it was sunny and ovely and within half an hour it was cloudy, windy and freezing cold. 🙂
Well done Gaelyn, this skywatch shot is awesome.
Have a great weekend.

It es look like the cloud wants to pour into the canyon. I'm sure the desert would appreciate the moisture.
Marvelous shot, Gaelyn! I agree with Martha, it looks like the cloud is trying to pour into the canyon.
Have a great weekend!
Wow…SkyWatch in the grand canyon.. does it get any better than that?
What an interesting life you lead, – all those different sky locations. An inspiration to us stay-at-homes…
Looks way too much like the makins of a funnel cloud. However it is a great capture and what a great place to camp. Thanks for sharing Gaelyn and have a wonderful weekend.

Fantastic shot.
My partner, the former paleontologist turned artist has a thing about is it trilobites. We have several in the house. Don't have such a beautiful view though as this.
Lol, this reminded me of a character in a British TV series whose catch phrase was 'Don't panic!' as he, obviously, proceeded to panic. Fantastic photo!
It dose look like a vortex in the sky…
but is the sky being drawn into the Grand Canyon
or is the Grand Canyon being sucked up into the grand sky, hmmm?
Really a stunning capture! I love the way the clouds appear to be sinking into the canyon… almost a mammatus cloud shaped scud. Fascinating.
That's a wonderful shot. It really does look like the sky is falling into the canyon.
A very apt title! Fantastic!
Happy Skywatch Friday!
Yes it really does look like it's falling, great shot.
It does look like the clouds are falling into the canyon. Beautiful photo.

Gaelyn:What great views of the sky at the canyon.
So beautiful! I've been scrolling through your blog. What an interesting life you lead. I hope to see the Canyon in the not so distant future.
Thanks for stopping by fourwinds.
fantastic photographs – all of them – just great.
What a gorgeous place to spend the summer!
Lovely capture!
It is PEACE.
Great skies…yeah…i am patiently waiting for your post on the fossils!
I love this! I had a similar sky here once, but it was at sunset and all grey and pink. I love that I might see one again because you had one.
