This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 6 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Our meme number for this week is 1414, chosen by the first commenter last week. Please join in with a post and link below with a #1414 indexed photo from your archives. And check out the other posts linked to the Foto Friday Fun meme.
Yogi chose #1414, “just cuz.” When I cruise the overlooks on the North Rim it’s only a 2.6 mile drive off the Walhalla scenic road to Point Imperial so I rush to the end. But this day I decided to stop on a wide gravel spot, ‘just cuz’ I wanted a different view. And that’s why I got a shot of Brady Peak instead of the usual Mount Hayden. Thanks for joining in last week and choosing this week’s Foto Friday Fun number.
Sherry chose #9555, “for no reason at all.” Sometimes giraffes neck for no reason at all, but usually it’s a game of dominance between males, or caressing courtship. I watched, and videoed, these two males’ choreographed necking for quite a while at Augrabies Falls National Park.
Elaine chose #3113, a special treat to see Uncle Sam at the North Rim’s 4th of July water parade this year. Thanks for linking in the Foto Friday Fun last week.
Bibi chose #4, “the total number of grandchildren come February.” Well the perfect place to take all those kids is Disney World. I hope to always be a kid and very much enjoyed my third visit there in 2006.
Diane chose #6661 leading us down just one set of many stairs along the Tsitsikamma Waterfall trail in South Africa.
Jonker chose #5429, “Randomly chosen.” Nothing random about the dancing of Derek Suwaima-Davis, chosen as a seven time International Hoop Dance champion. Derek performed at this year’s Native American Heritage Days at the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park and seems to get better every year.
My choice this week, because I’m still labeling photos from July, when I made the long drive to Jumpup Point and was blown away by the view and palpable silence. According to the map, this red peaked landmark of Hermit shale is called Race Track Knoll. Being it’s located on the Esplanade sandstone at least 650 feet (200 meters) below I was in no hurry to race down there.

Do you have a favorite from this week?
Capturing the present for future memories of the past
Beautiful photos!
Now that is (again) one fine set of photos! Wow. I must say that after a three-day weekend with granddaughter Mila that I am in trepidation of a trip to Disneyland…whenever…but will go.
My favorite is the last one, your pic. Next week I’ll choose 1066, the date of the Norman Conquest! English got, back then, over 10,000 words from French. Eh, oui.
Might want to wait until the kids are little older.
Have you down for #1066.
Great photos all and I love the one you picked for me. Or maybe I picked it or you know what I mean!!
633 is my number for next week.
You always pick good numbers. And for next week our number will be 633.
Oh my goodness that last picture is stunning. You always pick such great ones. I love my giraffes and remember watching that video. I saw the fabulous hoop dancer and was just amazed. Great memory. Can’t wait to see him again. I need to write down those dates so I can make sure to be there at that time next visit. Also love the Disney World pic I’m hoping they will have room for Winnona over my birthday this year. Guess I’d better get making reservations since it’s only 4 months away. Let’s try #67
Glad you’ve seen Derek hoop dance as he is amazing. But still think you should be here in early August for the celebration. Birthday in Disney World would be so much fun. I’ll never outgrow that place and have a feeling you won’t either. Have you down for #67.
It looks so nice and green there after all the brown I have around me here but the rainy season is starting so hopefully in a couple of weeks I will see a difference.
We’ve had a good share of rain to make it green. So I’m sure you will too. Then the grass will be too tall to see the animals. 😉
Another beautiful set of photos! I really like that giraffe photo. I’ll chose 815 for next week.
Thanks Elaine. Watching those giraffes necking was quite a treat. Have you down for #815.
Thanks for linking in last week. Hope you will again.
Love the dancing Indians, something I would like to see live but guess it will never happen. Great set of photos though as always. Would love to see Tsitsikamma again but we need that lottery win so N can fly 1st class!! 5551 next week.
Please buy a ticket for me when you win so we can all fly first class. 😉
Have you down for #5551.
Great set of photos! Really like the one with the giraffes 🙂
I choose number 13 – my favourite number!
Thanks for stopping by Catherine. Although elephants are my favorite South African animal watching the giraffes necking was quite a treat.
Have you down for #13 for next week. Hope you’ll link in with a #1414 photo this week.
That last photo takes my breath away. But the giraffes wow. (I’d rather it be loving instead of fighting, cuz that’s the kind of girl I am, but I’d take any chance to see these beautiful animals doing anything (i a real setting).
I’ll be back some day to FF and maybe I can even figure out the meme. Not right now tho… I have Alaska brain!
Thanks Sallie. I’m with you on the loving part. And am blown away by Alaska.
