It’s been another amazing season at Grand Canyon from beginning to end. Yet now there is only a week and a half left and much to do getting ourselves, the truck camper, 5th-wheel and car back to our winter home. I reflect on the last five months of the seasonal life of a Park Ranger.
Mike moving to the canyon
Flowers
Friends old and new
In all kinds of weather
Sharing the canyon sites
Plus visiting so much nearby beauty
Seeing wildlife
And watching sunsets
Hanging out
Where does the time go
I will miss this Grand Canyon
What amazing memories of summer, the pictures are fantastic. Being in love just tops the whole lot off. Hope that there are many more summers for you and Mike together. Diane
It has been such a wonderful time! Thank you for "teaching" me to slow down and smell the roses! All the beauty I've seen pales in comparison to the beauty I see in you!
Gaelyn, you are so lucky to have such a wonderful job in a fabulous place. I loved your refelction post on the last 5 months. The scenery, flowers and wildlife are all just awesome.
Hi Gaelyn,
I have to apologize for taking so long to visit your blog… I brought home a little souvenir virus from the Canyon that hasn't made catching up on life very easy!
I cannot even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed meeting you during my residency, how many North Rim memories your fabulous photos bring to me, how much I appreciated your kind friendliness while I was there & when we were at the condor release. You are a special person & I am looking forward to reading about your next adventures, & seeing you again in the future. Safe journeys to you, wherever it is that your wheelstate is taking you next!
A fantastic look back at your summer and such gorgeous photos! I'm so very happy that you and Mike "found" one another and that you're enjoying life together. And to be able to work in such a breathtakingly beautiful area! Thanks for sharing it all with us! Hope you both have a great "rest of the year" together! Enjoy!

This is truly special. Seems I found your blog only a year ago-ish and you have shown me (us all) such beauty. I'm so happy for you, your glorious year, your young love. Happy winter!
Ah, but you are rich in memories, wonder and love!
What fabulous shots! Congrats on your two-year anniversary.
So much beauty Gaelyn! I am so glad you and Mike got to experience all of that together. You had so many wonderful adventures, more this summer than most people get in a lifetime. Keep living the dream!!
ps. Can't wait to see you both!!
Gaelyn, your mosaics are full of memories. I just love the weather one! Glad you have such a great place to work – and being in love doesn't hurt!
What a great job to have and it looks as though you've had a great season there. I sure do enjoy the photos.
Fabuloso!
That's quite a summer! I'm jealous, I spent my summer working in front of a computer. I did take one week off to visit Yellowstone with my family.
Gaelyn: Why, it has made you rich. The wealth you recieved from your camera is without belief.
Anything I say would not be adequate to express how I feel about this post, about the Grand Canyon, about the astounding beauty of nature. Such a strong, indefinable emotion wells up inside….
I can express only that I am grateful that you posted this beautiful tribute.
It seems like you just arrived at the Canyon. The summer has went by so fast! Your collages are gorgeous, and your reflection on your summer is beautiful. Great post. I'm looking forward to reading about your winter adventures.
This was indeed a wonderful summer at the Canyon and I am grateful that you let us join you. Your skill coupled with wonderful clear and stormy skies made each shot a thrill. I look forward to your future adventures and seeing the joy that you and Mike share in experiencing them together.
Hi Gaelyn;) I can't believe your time at the Canyon is over. Time sure does fly. Thanks for the reflections I remember most of them. I love Mike's comment. This is my last visit from North Africa (sad!) I'll be back online in SA in about two days' time. Blessings and hugs Jo
Your autobiography is making US rich in our online visits of your beautiful world….!
It may not be a best seller book, but its a very popular blog with many dedicated followers, including myself. Yours are one of my 3 favorite blogs. You show me so much natural beauty that I am always curious about what will follow next. Looking back at the season I must also say it flew by. So many interesting things done and seen. And best of all, this year you got to share it with Mike. Looking forward to next season, but surious to see what happens between now and then.
Another fantastic season Gaelyn and your shared it all with us. Now it is time to take a break, bake some rusks and sit back and enjoy yourself. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful pictures.
It was a good year but it went by too quickly. Because of your blog, I visited the Grand Canyon last October, although I was not fortunate enough to meet you.
Amazing fabulous wonderful post Gaelyn~ I've enjoyed reading your ongoing biography for a while now (don't get to every post b/c sometimes life interferes with blogging) but it is always fun to follow your journey .
Safe travels when you leave the beautiful canyon!!!!
Love this post–it has been a good summer, and really hate to leave at the same time I am so ready to go. Hope to see you again next season.
wonderful memories…My favorite is being in love..You two look so happy!
That was fun, to review the season in one post. Love the collages.
