This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 7 images chosen by readers out of my photo archives. Unfortunately I’m dealing
with many issues due to my computer being stolen while in South Africa, the loss of 1000s of photos and struggling to
figure out Windows 8 on the replacement so the selections were limited.
MaryBeth chose #44 and gets a view taken in Hluhluwe National Park South Africa. Pronouse the ‘H’ as a ‘sh’ sound and good luck. The game was a little sparse here but the rolling hills and valleys were spectacular.
Jonker chose #13, “My favorite number just because other people see it as unlucky.” How lucky that Joan caught this Gold-banded Forester in Sodwana National Park and that we could let it go inside a tent for photos before releasing it into the wilds again.
Sherry chose #399. Franklins are seen all over Kruger National Park. Joan and I jokingly call them breakfast because they just stand in the road staring at us and almost daring us to run them over.
Sallie chose #222, “our daughter’s birthday.” I send Zebras from Hluhluwe National Park South Africa for her birthday.
Bibi chose #400, “no reason!” For no reason she gets this unidentified plant seen in Sodwana Bay National Park South Africa. Have you ever seen anything like this?
Diane chose #199, “For no particular reason.” I’d have a good reason to follow this fisherman home and help eat this Baracuda he caught near Cape Vidal off the coast of Sodwana Bay National Park South Africa.
Yogi chose #201, “Cuz it is just past halfway.” This Blue Heron was more than halfway fishing for it’s breakfast. Actually saw it eat a small fish but wasn’t quick enough to get the shot.
My choice this week of a 3 inch frog I saw in the laundry sink at Sugarloaf Camp in St. Lucia South Africa. Never go to the bathroom without the camera.
Thank you for joining in Foto Friday Fun where readers choose a number from my archives and I share the corresponding photo and a story. To join in the fun for next week leave a number between 303 and 527 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.
Cyndi will love her zebra birthday card — I will link it for her. I love it too. You did a fantastic job putting this post together under difficult circumstances … nobody would guess at your troubles if you hadn’t told us….it looks beautifully done as always. That little frog is pretty cute…I always think it’s so silly when I have my camera in the shower/bathrooms, but I almost always do! I’ll take 526. Because it is so close to the last.
Glad you like Cyndi’s birthday zebra. I’m slowly getting the computer set up as I’m used to. Even used a software to make Windows 8 like Windows 7. Usually it’s bugs we’re taking photos of in the bathroom and I actually had to go back to camp to get the camera this shot. Have you down for #526.
A great selection as always. I am so sorry you lost your computer. Did you have a back-up hard drive? What a bummer!!!
That 3″ frog you found reminds me of the 1″ one I found in the sink in our room in a 1,000,000 acre sheep station next to the Great Victoria desert. The last thing I expected in this incredibly dry area.
Do take care of yourself Gaelyn. Every country has a criminal element, even those countries you dearly love.
Unfortunately the backup was with the computer, a mistake I won’t make again. But I had backed up the entire computer before leaving the States.
Hope you’ve cooled down and bit and feeling better.
No number this week?
Love the little froggie, and you’re right about not going to the bathroom without your camera. Mine is always slung across my chest, so I always have it…and have gotten some good shots.
That’s some plant you ‘gave’ me. Have no idea what it is.
I’ll have 444 next week. I like 4s.
Sure nice to know I’m not the only one who goes to the bathroom with my camera. 🙂
Have you down for #444.
Well done for even managing Friday fun under the circumstance. I love Sodwana Bay and that Barracuda looks delicious 🙂 Love the little frog. For no particular reason 399 for next week. Keep well and hope the rest of the holiday is peaceful. Diane
I too loved Sodwana and would have liked to try the Barracuda. Have you down for #399.
Great shots, all of them. I really like the zebra shot.
Good luck with Windows 8. I finally got adapted to it but it is not my favorite.
Thanks. I’ve made Windows 8 look more like 7 and am much happier. No number this week?
Oops!!!! My number this week is 400!! Thanks for the prompt.
A Great selection. Love the frog but I think the butterfly best.
