After several days on the road, it is always a welcome sight to see Vulture Peak on the horizon since it means that we’re close to home and our journey is nearly done. I took this shot when we were about five minutes from our home. It was a good eclipse trip and it’s good to be home. Click on the image to enlarge.
We went to the post office and the supermarket today. While Bob was checking the PO Box, I took this picture of some cactus flowers on a devil’s tongue cactus behind the bank. Click on the image to enlarge.
On our way out of Williams, AZ, this morning, Verna got this shot of a vintage steam locomotive and caboose in the yard of the Grand Canyon Railroad. The locomotive is still used for occasional trips to Grand Canyon Village. The railroad also uses more modern diesel electric locomotives on most of the runs to the rim.

We were going to stay one more night on the road, but decided before pulling into the campground that we had plenty of vacation for the time being. We reset the GPS to take us the last 50 miles or so to our little home in Wickenburg, where we are enjoying recuperation and relaxation.
We never get tired of seeing the scenery of the Grand Canyon. Although we didn’t spend a lot of time in the park today, I did manage to get a lot of nice photos. The one above is from a scenic view site about six miles west of the east entrance to the park on State Route 64. Click on the image to enlarge.
I took this photo of a pair of prickly pear flowers just before we left the Page, AZ, campground. There were dozens of these bright yellow flowers scattered around the campground. Click on the image to enlarge.
And this is the Ring of Fire. The Moon passed in front of the Sun. Pretty Awesome!
The camera was a Canon Rebel EOS XTi with a Rainbow Symphony solar filter. Settings were aperture F5.7, 1/1600′ exposure and ISO 1600 film speed.
