This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 8 images chosen by readers out of my photo archives. Of course these are all from my current journey through South Africa as that’s all I have on the replacement computer.
Bibi chose #31, “for Baskin Robbins 31 flavors.” Me, and my shadow, have fallen in love with a flavor I’m not sure Baskin Robbins carries. Joan introduced me to frozen juice Granadilla on a stick and now I want them every day. Thank goodness they were available while at Tsitsikamma National Park so I could watch the waves while eating.
Diane chose #10, “the date of Nigel’s birthday.” Last week she saw the sunrise and today she gets a sunset at Tsitsikamma National Park. I know she dearly wants to return to South Africa for a visit so hope she gets to see this sight in person one day.
Sallie chose #12, “the number of my descendants (to date).” I think this waterfall seen hiking at Tsitsikamma National Park has about 12 descents. But the route to get there had many more ascents and descents over large boulders.
Sherry chose #415. She’s a beach gal and loves to swim so believe she’d really like this lagoon that runs into the Indian Ocean at Tsitsikamma National Park in Nature’s Valley. Of course I didn’t see any manatees there. 
Yogi chose #333, “Cuz it is half the number of the beast.” Although very large, this Saddle-bill Stork is probably half the number of many of the beasts I’ve seen while in Kruger National Park.
Jo chose #442 as “we’ve been married for 42 and I added 400 for fun.” Sure glad hyenas are her “favourite carnivores” as she’s getting another. There were two sweet and snoozing cubs along the road early one morning in Kruger National Park.
Elaine chose #500. I’d give this big boy a 500+ after watching him mate three times at Kruger National Park South Africa.
Jonker chose #593, as “just another random number for another random picture.” He worked at and lives nearby Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa where I saw these young elephants at play.
My choice this week, two hyena pups seen at Addo Elephant National Park. Mom actually sniffed the side mirror while I took a bad quality video.
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 01 and 999 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.
Sorry I haven’t been very active reading blogs while on this amazing journey in South Africa. I barely have time to write posts, and check email and Facebook. I return to the States April 9th and hope to do more catching up. Then I return to work at the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park April 29th but of course we don’t open until May 15th. Hope some of you will come for a visit this summer.
My favourite is my photo of the sunset at Tsitsikamma . I also hope one day I will get to see it again in real life. The photos of the hyaenas are excellent though not one of my favourite animals. The cats top my list with the leopard way out in front, then come the wild dogs. I just love all your photos though they bring back some amazing memories. Take care, hope you are feeling better. Diane
I do hope you will one day return to SA. Can’t loose with the cats but I really like the hyenas, even though elephants are my absolute favorite.
Have you down for #198.
Oops forgot a number for next week 198. 19 my birth date and 8 for the month 🙂 Diane
Gotta say I like ‘my’ photo best, followed by that suave lion. Next week I’ll take 48. no reason.
Can’t go wrong with a sunset. Or a lion for that matter. Have you down for #48.
Gaelyn, thanks for posting the hyena pups for me! I love the lagoon photo at Nature’s Valley which is one of our favourite spots to visit. My number for next week is 999 choosing the last number in your range. I hope you’re feeling better. Those granadilla ice lollies are good meds… (((Hugs))) Jo xxx
What’s not to like about Nature’s Valley. Or the granadilla ices. Have you down for #999.
These are wonderful. I love waterfalls and kind of “collect” them — in pictures and memory — so the one from the National Park was perfect for me. Loving all the pics of course…we sure don’t blame you for not visiting. I’m just totally amazed that have had time to blog. And grateful. Enjoy the rest of your time… it will go by too fast I’m sure but at least you have a beautiful place to come back to.
If you have room next week I’ll take #06.
Glad to add another waterfall to your ‘collection’. Fortunately I do find a little time mid-day and evenings to get online and try to post. But of course I’ll be posting about this trip many weeks after I return to AZ.
Have you down for #06.
Oh Gaelyn don’t apologize for not being active in blogland. You are on a journey of a lifetime—enjoy it we will bw here. Love your pics. Awesome. Busy Lion—heh heh!
I will choose #9–the date you are returning home and the day of my Grandmother’s birthday.

Thanks for letting me off the hook but I really like to know what you bloggers are up to. Have you down for #9.
I like all the photos, but I think I like the hyena pups the best. Put me down for 409, since that’s the day you return to the US and the day we’ll return to Alaska from a short jaunt to the Pacific Northwest.
Funny how the hyenas have captured my heart. Have a great visit in the PNW. Have you down for #409.
Loved seeing all the photos from your present adventure but the (satisfied) lion looking at you so sweetly really took my fancy.
Coud I please have 423 for no reason whatever?
Even though the lions are pretty close to the truck I never feel threatened by them. Have you down for #423.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!! And all of this so close to me. We are heading to a camp sight close to Natures valley over Eastern and will spend some time on that beach and in that lagoon while we are there. The waterfall in the Tsitsikamma National Park is unfortunately one spot in the park I haven’t been to. I need to make a plan and visit so I can do it.
I’m choosing 999 as it is the last number available.
Love Tsitsikamma but that waterfall trail is not for the feint hearted. Have you down for #999.
I like the studly lion.He’s my hero.
For next week (which is this week now) I pick 667, just cuz.
Why am I not surprised? 😉
Have you down for #667, for this week.
