Pin #163: California Condor - Grand Canyon
For those who don't know, the Grand Canyon is one of my favorite places on this planet. I feel so at peace there. I could just sit up there for hours and stare into the canyon. I've been there close to a dozen times, and each time I try to buy a pin. This pin is one of my favorites from the Grand Canyon. It shows the Canyon with a California Condor soaring overhead. The Grand Canyon is one of the few places where you might actually see a condor. There are only a couple hundred in the wild, as efforts to grow the population after near extinction continue. I've only seen a couple up there, but it really is impressive to watch them soar through the skies. And that's why I bought this pin. I wanted something with a condor on it because they are a cool part of the canyon. Plus, the condor on this pin actually moves back and forth, and pins with moving parts are always extra cool.
