This week’s photo challenge is GRAND and though I’ve already posted once, I must post again, for I live in the GRAND VALLEY with the GRAND RIVER (changed to the Colorado River in 1921) running through it, the incredibly grand Colorado National Monument to the south, and the 10,000 foot GRAND MESA (largest mesa in the entire world) directly to the east.
The Grand Valley, in the fall, with Mt. Garfield on the left and the Grand Mesa in the distance.
