This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 7 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Our meme number for this week is 6661. Please join in by digging into your archives and sharing a story. And check out the other posts linked to the Foto Friday Fun meme.
Diane chose #6661, which will be next week’s number, and she likes old cars. I don’t know what this is but maybe she does. Taken this past August at the Western Legends Round Up in Kanab Utah, complete with cowboy. I just happened into town that Saturday having completely forgotten about this annual festival.
Yogi chose #2108 and gets a different lake from his last week picture on the Kaibab National Forest. Crane Lake has a convenient pullover with an interpretive sign.
Bibi chose #46, “the number of years ago I studied in Aix-en-Provence, France.”. In 2005 I ‘studied’ relaxology along the Sea of Cortez for a month mostly around San Felipe but also took a road trip to Porto Cito on the Baja Mexico. I traveled with my dear friend Darlene, who I will soon be visiting in the Pacific Northwest. With winter coming on I would love to be here soaking up the sun once again.
Sherry chose #8199. I know she’ll identify with my difficulty capturing these deer that startled me as I began to walk on the Rainbow Rim trail. They took off in a hurry and my camera settings were not set for being so close.
Sallie chose #9989, because I’m almost last. Almost always.” I’m sure glad I got out several times to shoot the aspen turning colors because now they are almost gone.
Elaine chose #1145 and this white stuff should look familiar as she’s already looking at much more of it through the windows of her Alaskan home. This shot was taken in May this year from my RV window just before staff left for lower elevation with warmer temperatures for a campout at Toroweap.
Jonker chose #764, “thanks to closing my eyes and pushing number buttons.” Sure wouldn’t want to close your eyes when visiting the Three Rondavels in the Blyde River Canyon area of South Africa. The shape of these rock monoliths resembles traditional African style houses.
My choice this week may be almost the last of the colorful fall aspen. A photographer friend set me a challenge of finding a place to see both the golden aspen and the canyon. I’ve looked along the Widforss trail and in several locations from the Ken Patrick trail. Aspen tend not to grow very close to the rim and the few that do were the last to turn. I think this is as good as it’s going to get for this year taken from a section of the Ken Patrick trail and looking at Brady Peak.

Do you have a favorite from this week?
Capturing the present for future memories of the past
Oh I love the sign with the indignant looking cows standing at the fence!
I love that sign too. Think it really gets the point across. No number this week?
Your choice is always a winner. The Blyde River Canyon view I got is stunning, but perhaps slightly short of the one you have at the Grand Canyon.
Next week I choose something low. Like 13. Always been my favorite number.
Blyde River Canyon is as beautiful as the Grand, just different. Have you down for #13, which will also be next week’s meme number.
That sign is brilliant, shame poor cows 🙂 The car shot is great, but N thinks it looks like a home made model. The back wheels are huge while the front ones are small. The radiator is unrecognisable to us, but if it is American then it is not surprising. Interesting photo though. Love the Blyde River canyon shot, and your autumn shot of Brady Peak. I see my name is still tangled up with Mr Linky so I am not going to try a diary post back in time just yet!!!! Have a good weekend. 5551 for next week. Diane
The car probably is some rancher’s home made job from various car parts. Don’t know.
Have you down for #5551.
Great shots. My favorite is the one with the deer. For next week the number 3555 popped in my head because I ran a three mile race last night and finished in 35 minutes 55 seconds. Nothing to brag about but I finished, vertically.
LOL! I think you were walking and not running. Or just taking lots of photos. Remember it’s the journey, not the destination. Have you down for #3555.
You bet I know all about not being set up or fast enough to catch more than the tail end. Gorgeous picture of Blyde River Canyon. Love the Sea of Cortez. Looks like a fabulous winter spot to me. Sure you don’t want to revisit??
I think I’ll try # 55 for next week.
I am thinking someplace warm for winter so maybe Mexico is the answer. Want to go?
I really like your choice with the aspen and the Canyon! We do still have a couple inches of snow on the ground here, although we’ve had no new snow the last couple of weeks. Only a matter of time until we get another good snowfall though. I’ll choose 1206 for next wee.
Please keep the snow there. At least until I leave the canyon. Then I hope it gets loads of snow this winter. Have you down for #1206.
I really love ‘my’ Sea of Cortez and the sign one. Next week I’ll have #11, the number of friends I’ll be meeting up with in Aix-en-Provence. Leaving tomorrow, so I won’t be commenting ’til around Halloween!
Have a wonderful time and bring back lots of photos and stories. Have you down for #11.
Honored to have one of your beautiful aspen shots be “mine”. Thank you. Love those trees. My other favorite is the Rondavels (hope I spelled that right.) Such a unique place.
How about number 37… that’s how many more days we have in Oregon this time if I counted right. I hope it’s a nice relaxing photo — I’m a little stressed thinking about everything I want to do while we’re here.
When will you leave for Oregon? Have you made plans for the rest of the winter? Mexico sounds good!
The houses called rondavels are very cool, round with thatched roof.
I’ll be in Oregon 10/30-11/6. No other plans for winter yet, but Mexico is sounding rather appealing.
Have you down for #37.
