A brief sampling of the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania
Everybody has heard of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River. But last year I learned of another Grand Canyon located where I live in the eastern United States -- the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. Recently I sampled a small portion of this magnificent canyon in the forest. And I intend to return to see much more.

A Kind of Retrospective
Sunlight has just forced open the clouds, draping itself across the pine trees like the snow that fell before it. Winter has found the Sierra Nevada Mountains not with a vengeance, but with a kind of lazy persistence. Not a polar bear by nature, I turn a blind eye to the Ansel Adams landscape, instead contenting myself with my usual cup of coffee and a stack of colorful, warm wildflower photographs. 2001 was a great year of wildflower discovery for me, and a day like this begs for a retrospective.
