Since MG and I ended our long march on a positive uptick, we spent the next day resting and letting our feet recuperate. So, we spent the day soaking our feet in the lovely Bright Angel Creek and wandering around looking at all the natural beauty. There is plenty of it - nevermind the squirrels - and you really can't help but practically fall over photo opportunities.

So we also spent a good deal of time just walking about and taking pictures. I had wanted a better camera than our little Canon, so I spent a good deal of time before the trip researching. It had to have a mix of features, expandability and most importantly, lightness for this trip. Besides Vasque hiking boots, I would offer a plug for Olympus cameras. Here's the camera we took with us:

It's an Olympus epl-2 and I have to say that I like it better than any camera I've ever owned. Now, bear in mind that unlike MG, I've owned very few cameras, have never had a photography lesson, and really am not very good at taking anything other than snapshots. I took a little more care here since we had the time and spent a
little more time playing around with our new camera's settings.
