BEG-AZ

Grand Canyon in aft

The big erosion gulley of Arizona (BEG-AZ), late afternoon early-spring….

I think this photo was taken at the same vista-view overlook where we heard a jocular guide telling his three charges that those pine-nuts we enjoy these days come from the cones of the piñon/pinyon pines, and the name is spelled p-i-n-i-o-n. While the piñon/pinyon nuts are edible and consumed, the ones you get at the store more likely came from Asia and from Asian species.

Is anyone surprised I shy away from hiring guides?
