This week’s Foto Friday Fun includes 11 images chosen by readers featuring a lot of Grand Canyon and wildlife in South Africa.
Diane and Nigel chose #2601, one of five in a panorama. If sunsets aren’t special enough how about at Grand Canyon. This taken from the North Rim lodge the end of June, 2014. Rangers get paid in sunsets.
Rita chose #9500. A Painted Lady butterfly on Desert Broom at Augrabies Falls National Park, South Africa taken the day I celebrated 60.
Jodee and Bill chose #590. A stormy sky hung over the San Francisco Peaks while touring Wupatki National Monument in Arizona during April 2009.
Sherry and David chose #7159. A Gemsbok grazing in Karoo National Park which is interesting for both its wildlife and geology.
Sue chose #1945, “the year I was born.” This shot was taken at the birth of a new day in 2010 from the North Rim lodge Grand Canyon National Park. Of course it might have meant the death of the touron on the rocks.
Jeff chose #7642, “the high and low temperature in San Felipe last trip.” 3212 would be the high and low temperature in Celsius during a March summer day in 2014 at Addo Elephant National Park. This is my second favorite South African National Park as there are so many elephants.
Sallie and Bill chose #2218, “for the new month we’ll be celebrating.” I was celebrating the day after Christmas in 2014 when I took this shot at Galleta Meadows in Borrego Springs, California. There are more awesome metal sculptures by Ricardo Breceda in the area.
Donna chose #887. A flowering Prickly Pear Cactus seen at Cape Royal on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park the end of June, 2009.
Pam and John chose #8172. There are more than elephants at Addo Elephant National Park. The young Kudu is getting fed.
Yogi and random dot org chose #2589. Yet another sunset at the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park taken the same night as the first photo.
Patti and Abi chose #620. Box Canyon Dwelling in Wupatki National Monument on the same day as the third photo above.
My choice this week is first light on the first day of February from my desert camp at Kofa National Wildlife Refuge.

Do you have a favorite this week?
I guess my cloudy canyon photo is my favorite this time, lucky me! I must say as well, that the ad for the wave print on metal caught my eye big time. I am going to save up for it, Gaelyn. I saw a bunch of metal prints in Palm Springs last night and thought I would get some of my own done that way, they are so gorgeous. But I will no doubt never make it to the Wave, and especially with heavy equipment with the luck to find water there and perfect light. You did that for me. Sooner or later. But as one who pays NO attention to ads, I thought you might like to see that THIS ad caught me big time. Good luck with your sales!
Thanks for letting me know. I’m glad to hear the ad caught your eye. I really don’t like advertising but that’s the only way to let people know I have prints available. I’ve never seen one of my own prints on metal but do like that look.
No number this week?
Now this is a perfect week of photos!!! All my favorites…wildlife and nature:) Our photo for this week is wonderful. Adorable Kudu:) And I love that Gemsbok and the elephants.
#2020
Thanks. Guess most of my photos fit that bill. Have you down for #2020.
I’m kind of partial to your choice this week.
Next week: #897
Thanks Donna. You get #897 next week.
Difficult to pick a favourite, We always love your photos of the canyon, but when there are photos taken in RSA it is hard to ignore them 🙂 202 for next week please. Have a good weekend Diane and Nigel
Thanks. I love both places also. #202 for you. Be well.
Hi Gaelyn, Well you know my favourites are all those of the Grand Canyon. Superb shots. 957 for next Photo Friday please. Have a great weekend.
Thanks. Can’t go wrong with the canyon. Have you down for #957.
My favorite is “my” photo of the canyon. I think it is classic and I love it.
My random dot org number for next week is 5942.
Take care, and have a great weekend.
Thanks Yogi. It’s hard to go wrong with the canyon. You get #5942.
Well here you go again, too many wonderful shots to choose from. The elephants made me laugh out loud. I just love them. Sure would like to see them and my Gemsbok in person. Forever on my bucket list. Of course sunsets and dawn at the Grand Canyon would always be among my favorites. Your pictures are fabulous!! Beautiful picture of the flowering prickly pear as well. I’ll choose #2780 for next week please.
Thanks Sherry. Don’t ever take safari off your bucket list. #2780 for you next week.
I do not have a favorite this week, they are all great!, what’s not to like about wildlife and awesome landscapes. For next week I’d like 1554 the elevation of Black Mountain Summit.
Thanks Jeff. You get #1554.
Fun critters and stunning deserts. We love storms across the desert vistas.
9410 for next week please.
Although I enjoy the sunny days I love to watch a storm. #9410 for you.
That first light photo at Kofa NWR is just amazing. Beautiful desert scenes and the animals .. especially the elephants. I loved every picture. Our daughter’s birthday is this month, so lets choose 222 for her day (how could she be turning 58. I’m not much older than that am I?)
Thanks Sallie. You must have been very young when starting a family. #222 for you.
