Sunset On The Canyon

There wasn't as much smoke in the west end of the canyon where many of the visitor facilities are located and we were able to get some pretty decent sunset photos.  The lower light brings out different colors and shadows.  A female elk (is that an elkette?) walked boldly through tourists (who didn't hesitate to make way for her) to get a drink of water from a water station, leaving her baby behind in the cedars.  And I thought that water was meant for two-legged animals!  I wouldn't have argued with a lady on a mission.
