This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 7 images chosen by readers picking a number out of my photo archives. Quite a few Grand Canyon shots plus a few oldies.
Jo chose #499, “Just because it’s one before 500, LOL!” I took this photo just because a full moon was rising above the canyon walls.
Bibi chose #20, “today’s date as I type.” Knowing that she’s no bigger fan of cold weather than I am so thinking this place along the Sea of Cortez in San Felipe Baja Mexico might warm us both up a bit. Maybe we could rent this house. Who wants to join me?
Yogi chose #666, “again, I know that is boring to some but my partnership with the devil is working out well for me.” Your ‘partnership’ got a road shot driving up onto the Kaibab Plateau from the north where I sometimes shop, 85 miles from the North Rim. I like how you can see the road cut switching back and forth. And bonus the moon.
Sherry chose #616. Last week you saw the Hopi glass blower at Native American Heritage Days held annually at the North Rim of Grand Canyon. Here’s a close up of working the glass and adding some color on the marving table. I really hope Sherry gets to see this next year.
Diane chose #696, a glittery sunset on Wotan’s Throne from Cape Royal, a marvelous overlook at the North Rim. I sure am looking forward to this view again in the spring.
Arija chose #123, yet another sunset taken at the North Rim, this one from the Transept trail. Do you see a face in that rock?
MaryBeth chose #1, “because Bob’s birthday is the 1st month of this new year and he is #1 in my life now.” Back in 2002, Dale the fisherman was my #1 guy, and here he shows off his salmon prize caught in the Columbia River. We traveled together for several years on the flea market circuit.
My choice this week… With only 20 days until touch down the call to South Africa gets louder and more intense. Can barely wait to see these marvelous giants again.
Thank you for joining in Foto Friday Fun. I really enjoy digging through my archives and pulling the stories from my memories. To join in the fun for next week leave a number between 1 and 1000 in a comment and maybe see your chosen image next week.
Do you have a favorite from this week?
Look for other photos posted on Geogypsy Facebook page not usually seen here.
Another wonderful selection Gaelyn. I love the picture you have chosen for me with the Russian with his fur hat, bushy eyebrows and beard admiring the sunset. You always make it difficult to choose one shot above another. I love the shot you chose for me but also that remote looking place in Mexico and would dearly like to join you there even if it is hot. The light just sings to me, and how could I not choose that wise African elephant?
For next week, may I please have 999, part of my mobile phone number and because I like it.
It looks like your New Year will be filled with adventure so I wish you safe travel, health and a lot of lovely surprises.
So glad you like the Russian and sunset. I had to go look at the photos to see what you were seeing. 🙂 I don’t think it would be as hot in Baja as your having. Have you down for 999.
Happy New Year to you!
Ah, I wondered if this post was free of SA shots, but was thrilled to see your elephant close up! My favourite is of the full moon. You do take beautiful shots Gaelyn. And I love the one of Dale. Great post. My number this week is 30 as Debbie has a birthday on Monday 30th (so does my brother, Phillip) and she is very special to us. Have a great weekend, Gaelyn. (((Hugs))) Jo
With so many photos of SA there’s almost certainly at least one in every Foto Friday Fun. Please wish Debbie and Happy Birthday, and Phillip too. Have you down for 30.
Great images all Gaelynn, the moon shot and the sparkly photo over the canyon were my favorites. I’m going with 97 this week cuz if my Cowboys can beat Philidelphia this weekend they will have a 9-7 record and win the NFC East title.
Thanks Yogi. The canyon shots are always nice to see. Have you down for 97, and good luck to your Cowboys.
Only TWENTY days. WOW!! Exciting. I just love that canyon sunset and the face in the rock. Beautiful pictures!! Such a pleasure to the eyes. Put me down for 737.
Yes, I am EXCITED! I knew you’d like that rock face. Have you down for 737.
That moon shot is exceptional. So nice. The sunsets are striking too. Well dang it all the pics are pretty nice. 20 days OMG!!!!!
I will pick #57. Thanks, MB
Thanks MB. Only 19 days now. 😉 Have you down for 57.
Great shots Gaelyn! Love the moonscape!
I forgot to add my #. I choose # 14 because it’s my birthday and it’s the day you’re taking off!
Of course it’s #14 for the birthday girl.
Gotta say that if it ever becomes possible, I’ll join you in the beach house! What fun Bibi would have romping in the sand, and for that matter, so would I.
I’ll choose 777. First number that came into my head.
I’d like to return to that beach, although the road to get there is horrendous. Have you down for 777.
Always enjoy your shot selections!
Nina
Thanks Nina. Have fun in the UK.
I’m with you on 666:) Very exciting figure that one. Beautiful shots as always…especially of the North Rim. Such stunning beauty. I know how excited you’re getting……I can’t to hear about the new fun you’ll have. Happy New if we don’t to you before then. We are heading to Santa Cruz Island off of California for several days. I so do enjoy vacation time.
can’t ….wait….to hear.
if we don’t…..talk….to you.
Oh my!
Have fun on the Island.
Hello! Better late than never!! 8*)
I am in a state of confusion today! I thought your 1st photo was of fall trees somewhere! I really can’t focus on it as walls!! I love the moon! 8*)
My favorite this week is your rock face!! Up here in New Hampshire we had the Old Man of the Mountain until he fell in 2003. That was so sad!! But your Wicked Witch of the West is SPECTACULAR!!! (I see the Russian man too,) 8*)
My number for this week’s Foto Friday Fun is 914…random fun… 8*)
That’s the upper wall of the canyon dotted with green trees. I will now forever look at that face as the Russian man.
Have you down for 914.
Sorry running a bit late this week but now back home \i might get my act together – wow I just love that sunset. Your elephant is beautiful though. Will do the porsche backwards this week for lack of ideas 653 🙂 Happy New Year, Diane
Welcome home and Happy New Year. Have you down for 653.
