This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 8 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Our meme number for this week is 8888. Please link in any day this week by digging into your archives and sharing a photo and story on your blog. Plus check out the other posts linked to the Foto Friday Fun meme.
Yogi chose #8888, “cuz it is the same frontward and backwards and upside down.” Views of the Grand Canyon look good frontwards and backwards but I’m not too sure about the upside down part. When I flipped this shot taken from Point Imperial overlook on the North Rim vertigo set in. So Yogi will just have to stand on his head to see it that way.
Diane chose #7007, also the same frontwards and backwards. Think she’s in cahoots with Yogi? This shot taken from one of my favorite North Rim overlooks, Cape Royal provides a 250 degree view with wonderful sunsets.
Chris chose #6789. And in 1234 you could climb this little rocky slope of sandstone carved by wind and water seen near Best Friends in Kanab Utah last fall. And if you’re looking to adopt a pet or just volunteer this is an awesome facility.
Sherry chose #8072, a family of elephants at a water hole in Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa. Oh, and do you see the Buffalo? As you probably know by now elephants are my favorite animal and I could sit and watch their social interactions for hours. No, make that days.
Lynda chose #1014, “my birthday!” So although I’m a little late from her last birthday, here’s a bouquet of daffodils. These were a birthday gift for myself in March 2012, but I’m willing to share. Having grown up in the Midwest, these were some of the first flowers to indicate spring.
Shane chose #5305, one of four making up a panorama of the gardens at Forever Resort Badplaas where I camped with Joan two different times in South Africa. The draw is natural thermal waters pumped into swimming pools and a water slide which was my favorite.
Elaine chose #333 which is I think a Swainson’s Hawk seen on the Kaibab National Forest adjacent to the North Rim back in October 2011.
Sallie chose #5000, a Ring-tail Lemur seen at Monkeyland in Plattenberg Bay, South Africa. I saw a lot of different kinds of monkeys up close here, and although nice for photos, I’d rather see them in the wild.
My choice are boulders seen near my White Tank camp in Joshua Tree National Park taken March 2, 2015. Just a little tease for a future post about this amazing landscape. Next camped at Jumbo Rocks. With a buzz into Joshua Tree to get this post out.

Do you have a favorite from this week?
How I love to browse through your Friday Foto Fun (although I STILL don’t know how to join, LOL!) I love that you have a Swainsons Hawk. We have Swainson’s Francolin – I heard them in Glen Reenen (the Highlands Park you loved in the Free State) Have a wonderful day, my friend. Jo xx
Thank you Jo. All you have to do is leave a number for next week. Funny we both have Swainsons. I do like Golden Gate and would love to return.
Great shot of the boulders. Joshua Tree is the one National Park in California that I have not been to yet, and that photo suggests to me that it’s high time I fix that.
#6349 for me this week, please.
You definitely Need to visit Joshua Tree. I’ll be teasing you some more with future posts of this visit. Have you down for #6349.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE my picture today. Love those elephants and I do see the water buffalo. Some friends went on a photographic safari and sent me their fantastic amazing pictures including ones of a lion pack taking down a buffalo. Gruesome. But I can’t believe all they saw. Let me have 6938 for next week please.
I would love to see lions on a kill. Maybe next visit. Just part of the cycle of life. Have you down for #6938.
Love, love this picture of the canyon, it is stunning. Beats all the other photos by a long way 🙂 Next week I will go for 8007, I
will soon have to think again running out of James numbers! Have a great weekend Diane
Glad you liked the canyon shot. Have you down for #8007. You are almost out of James. 😉
Cape Royal is just so lovely anytime but your sunset photo makes me smile. Put me down for 12 next time – the twin Grands age.
Cape Royal is definitely my favorite overlook from the North Rim, in the park anyway. Glad you like it. Have you down for #12.
I love all your shots and commentary but the one you chose for me is the best. I tried to stand on my head and that didn’t work so I just turned my screen upside down. I know and appreciate that you tolerate my cheating so well.
LOL! I can just imagine you trying to stand on your head. I love your cheatin’ heart Yogi. But your memory, not so sure. You forgot to leave a number for next week.
A nice variety of scenery and critters! I really like your shot of the boulders. Amazing the sculpting nature can do!
Although your ice sculptures are good, nothing beats nature. Have you down for #2374.
Oops! Forgot to leave a number. I’ll go with 2374.
My Thanks to JoHedges for asking the quesion 🙂
Now that I know how to join in Foto Friday Fun…I’ll chose 478
I’m glad that worked out. Have you down for #478. Thank you for joining in.
I’m very late reading again so I’ll choose a late number .. 8,999.? Looks like you have lots of new players so if you want to you can give my number and space to someone else as a tardy penalty). I love my little lemur, but of course wild is better. I’m so happy you are visiting JT. I adore this park.
You’re not too late, it’s only Monday so have you down for #8999.
Love the sandstone and of course the elephants! 🙂
But of course, the elephants.
