This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 6 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Our meme number for this week is 1031, Happy Halloween. 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.
Elaine chose #1031 for Halloween. So I chose this decoration a very creative North Rim employee set up in his front yard. OK, so it’s not #1031, I cheated (learned that from Yogi), but it’s my blog.
Diane chose #4441. This big boy was still catching his breath after mating which I caught on video in Kruger National Park, South Africa. What a thrill to watch not just once, but three times. 
Yogi had random dot org choose #8993, “home of true random numbers it says.” But he and I know sometimes they aren’t so true and right. Sort of like this Gemsbok with a deformed horn seen in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, South Africa. 
Jonker randomly chose #7634. I know he likes to see photos of Grand Canyon and he gets a twofer because his number was one of a series in a panorama so I give you it all as morning light slowly brightens the canyon walls and temples.
Arija chose the random #8476. These Meerkats at Mountain Zebra National Park in South Africa seemed as interested in us as we them.
Sallie chose #532, “cuz that’s what the clock here by the computer says at this exact moment.” That sounds like living in the moment, which is what I try to do. This capture in time occurred in October 2011. Think it was cold?
My choice this week from two days before leaving the North Rim. I went for a drive through the forest to Marble View. The young pines beneath the aspen looked decorated with the fallen leaves.

Capturing the present for future memories of the past
So tonight is Halloween. Not really something that is celebrated that much over here. A couple of restaurants, clubs and bars do Halloween theme parties, but the whole trick and treat thing doesn’t really get done here. I kinda wish the whole thing would have been bigger. Would be a lot of fun.
Next week I’m going with #7777. A random number four times.
Well Halloween doesn’t really mean much to me either. I’m not into the bar scene thing and outgrew trick or treating many decades ago. Have you down for #7777.
Halloween means nothing to me as Jonker says it is no big deal in Africa, and after moving to France, certainly in the country it means nothing, I don’t know about the towns.
Love all these photos, no specials, they are all so good. 6999 for next week
Doesn’t mean anything to me either. Have you down for #6999.
I just LOVE your remark on that first photo about it being your blog so you can cheat, ha, ha. I do that, too. I really like that shot; people are so creative. In a minute I’m going to send you a good table decorating idea for Halloween I saw on the net.
I’m back from France but with an awful virus….cough, fever, no runny nose, but feel like, well, you know…. I am eating lots of garlic and hope it will go away. Garlic keeps vampires away too and it IS Halloween, so…. Next week I’ll take 6864, my train number from Menton to Marseille.
Love the food guy.
Welcome home, sorry you’re sick. Garlic is good, just don’t breath on anybody. Have you down for #6864.
I love that pic of you sitting at the station. Such pretty pics and for some reason I like that last pic of the pine tree. Very cool . Hope you’re having a fun weekend;)
Thanks Chris. I really like that little pine next to the aspen too. Having a great time in Bandon, Oregon on the coast.
I just love hopping all over the world with you every Friday (or Saturday, for a change I’m here on the right day). Love the portrait of that beautiful ranger — she may be freezing, but no gloves to cover up those gorgeous rings! You go girl. 7476 — don’t know why — it jumped out at me.
Always happy to have you along on the journey. Have you down for #7476.
Oh shoot, I must have forgotten to pick. I should do that at the beginning not the end of my comment. So I will. How about the very first number 6811? Love the opening picture cheating or not. Always love LIONS!!! and the gorgeous Canyon Views you manage to get so much better than I did when I was there. But like most everyone else my very favorite is the wonderful picture of you.
Gee thanks, I like that shot of me against the canyon too. Can’t go wrong with lions. Have you down for #6811.
You know I like the skeleton riding the bike pic the best. I didn’t check out the lion porn videos. Maybe they could show those in Zoos you know. Just to keep the cats alert.
My number, courtesy of random dot org is 9723.
That photo of the skeleton on the bicycle is hilarious! 🙂
The skeleton on the bicycle is perfect for Halloween!
The pics of Africa and the Grand Canyon are lovely, and that’s a great shot of you on the rim.
Love the photo of the skeleton riding the bike! The last photo is lovely, as is the panorama view of the Canyon. I’m a bit late this week as I was missing in action all week. I managed to mess up on my first attempt on linking up, but perhaps you can delete the first entry. Hope I’m not to late to be included for this week. Give me number 9001.
I thought the skeleton was perfect for Halloween. Sorry I already had the post scheduled to go out.
