I want to make this picture into a poster and hang it on my wall. It reminds me of an awesome, but difficult, hike to Vernal and Nevada Falls in Yosemite at the beginning of this month. It also reminds me how much I've become my mother. When we visited the Grand Canyon I never actually saw inside because my mom had a tight grip on our sweatshirt hoods and would not let us THINK about getting near the railing, let alone the edge of the canyon. I took this photograph and then proceeded to spend the next five minutes nervous that the guy standing on the rock was going to DIE! He dove in, swam around, didn't come out from a little cave for awhile, and then swam WAY TOO CLOSE to the pounding waterfall. I was freaking out, and he wasn't even my child. Heaven help the poor kiddos. They will never see the Grand Canyon either...

Wow, what a great picture. I love it. And I know what you mean about grabbing the hoods. Maybe that is why my sons keep joining the Marines, finally a way to get adventure without mom hanging on ;)
Ya'know, I have access to some large format printers at work. If you send me the original file and what size/style you want it I'll print it out; but then you'll need to bug Dan to come visit Portland and transport it back to SB for you :)
