Greetings from Grand Canyon National Park
We were visiting the Park on May 13, 2019, and I shot many photos. When I got home I realized I captured what appeared to be a rare daylight meteor strike or space debris vaporizing in Earth's atmosphere above the Canyon. We were on or near Hermit Road along the…

Greetings from Yosemite National Park
As parents, we always know the same answer to give to the Father’s Day question of, “What do you want for Father’s Day? Just as our parents answered us when we asked as kids... “Just make me a card, that’s all I need!” Well, on a recent Father’s Day I…
