Looking at the early bird while hiking at The Grand Canyon

I would say it's more of what the journey presents to you that makes it sustainable. I took this pic while going down the Granyon (south rim) on a hike. The natural way this bird was sitting, so calm and beautifully, as its avatar so rich in its color spoke volumes. The backdrop of the canyon in its view was the cherry on top as I clicked this golden moment. Timeless.
