Beauty of all kinds

When I found this picture I was in a quandary. Is this a picture of her taking a picture? It sure looks that way to me! 

...and this one...it sure looks to me like she is walking with her tripod to set up a shot doesn't it? 

This one her tripod is laying next to her. Maybe she is scoping out her shot?

Was my grandfather one of the photographers too?  I have a sneaking suspicion that while she was capturing the worlds beauty, he was only interested in capturing hers.

I had never heard of Cedar Breaks or Bryce Canyons until I Googled it. 

There are 4 posts highlighting her visit. Wow. Now I want to visit!

From the air

The Grand Canyon: Air Plane View at Sunset, 1955

I was absolutely blown away when I found these next shots. I would LOVE to take my camera up in an open air plane over the grand canyon at sunset. 

I cannot fathom the excitement. The thrill.

I would not have been able to take enough photos. 

To feel the wind. To see the sights.... and to be able to have the wherewithal to take these photos amidst the adrenaline. Awesome.

Inez was such a risk taker...a thrill seeker it seems.

I hope to be like that now, let alone when I am her age in these photos!
