Horseshoe Bend

I woke up a few minutes before our alarm went off at 4:15 am.  I was surprised to see light in the sky and promptly woke Ralph up.  It was time to go.  Ralph believes that he is married to a crazy woman but he humored me and got up.  The Horseshoe Bend is only about 15 minutes away from where we are staying.  The sun was up before we got there but it was rising behind us so it didn't negatively affect our pictures.  Horseshoe Bend is part of the Grand Canyon where the Colorado River turns in the shape of a Horseshoe and runs back the same way again.  It is very awe inspiring to see.  We stayed for an hour taking photographs and enjoying the beautiful view.  We hope to come back again and take pictures when the sun goes down.
