This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 8 images chosen by readers picking a number out of my photo archives. Because I removed many photos off the hard drive most of the choices come from my 2013 visit to South Africa.
Firefly chose #1799, “The year the British built Fort Frederick, the oldest building in Port Elizabeth.” Don’t know when SANParks built Sunset Dam in Kruger but it is my favorite dam and I’m now camped nearby at Lower Sabie. However, this image is from the 2013 visit.
Yogi chose #1966 because, “I liked that year.” I liked the yellow footprints that marked the way along Echo Ravine Trail at Golden Gate Highlands National Park where Joan and I hiked in 2013.
Bibi chose #1946, “the birth year of a dear friend, okay, my old boyfriend.” This grass grew along the Echo Ravine Trail that I walked with a dear friend but not boyfriend.
Jo chose #1953, “this is the year I was born.” Sorry there is no correlation to these dolphins swimming just off shore at Tsitsikamma National Park seen in 2013 in South Africa. But I know she’s been here before.
Diane chose #1981, “the year we got married.” I think Golden Gate Highlands National Park would be a gorgeous place to get married, but once was enough for me and hopefully for her too.
MaryBeth chose #27, “cuz that’s how old I am today.” Always good to feel young at heart and especially when hiking on the North Rim over rocky trails past the cactus.
Arija chose #1934, “It was the year my absolutely wonderful sister was born.” This absolutely wonderful unidentified flower grows along Echo Ravine Trail in Golden Gate Highlands National Park South Africa.
Sallie chose #17, “Last week I chose the year I got married. This is how old I was then.” This shot of the inside of my 5th-wheel was taken a year when I didn’t get married but did live with Michael for a while.
My choice this week of course from the current journey in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Elephants are often seen leaning against a tree for a little catnap, or elenap, but this is the first time I’ve seen the trunk rest upwards like this. Guess it just gets too heavy to carry sometimes.
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 300 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.
Once again I love the one you chose for me best of all. Next comes your 5th-wheeler photo and then the snoozing elephant. I didn’t know they did this! Next week I’ll have number 4, which I consider for some reason to be my lucky number.
I’ve never seen an elephant do this before and neither has Joan. Have you down for #4.
I am really impressed every time I see a Golden Gate picture from you. That area is so beautiful. The last picture of the elephant is a winner. Stunning shot.
My choice for next week….. 247, just a random number to keep the pics clicking over
Hope you are having a blast
You REALLY need to visit Golden Gate. Have you down for 247.
I love that elephant..great shot! Enjoy!
Thanks, it was quite a sight. No number for you this week?
Oh my gosh that elephant picture stops my heart! Your RV home is cozy (and the best way to live, IMHO) so it was a great choice for my # pick. For next week, how about #25, cuz that was the number of our site in one of our favorite RV Parks.
Every time I see an elephant my skips a beat. Was thinking you might like my RV, the best way to live. Have you downfo #25.
I love that elephant shot! You’ve gotten some wonderful wildlife shots this last week. I can tell you’re having a great time. How about 173 for next week?
Elephants are my favorite. Have you down for #173.
My favorite is the dolphin shot.
My number is 73, its a prime number which is great and its digits add up to 10 which appeals to me also.
You’re so funny with the numbers. Have you down for #73.
Second try at this comment! We actually honeymooned in the Drakensberg and now coming up to 33 years. I did though get married before which only lasted for 3 years!!! We are still good friends and he lives in Cape Town. I just love that photo of the elephant it is amazing. Hope that you are still having a great time. I am so jealous of those leopard shots – may favourite all time animal. Take care Diane
The Drakensberg is good to visit anytime. Having a marvelous time, of course.
Oops after all that I forgot a number, 19 for the date of my birth. Diane
Have you down for #19.
Love them!!

My favourite most definitely is your choice., because a) it is an elephant and b0 it is a quite incredible picture and pose. so glad you were at the right place at the right time.
Sorry to hear the heat is melting your brain. May you cool off soon.
