This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 5 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Our meme number for this week is 777. Please link in any day this week by digging into your archives and sharing a photo and story on your blog. Plus check out the other posts linked to the Foto Friday Fun meme.
Cheryl chose #777, “The number everyone wants to see on a slot machine!” Although I love clouds above an expansive landscape I was really happy to see clear skies while hiking in Buckskin Gulch. A slot canyon is no place to be with the possibility of rain anywhere within 100 miles. Besides the orange stained sandstone contrasts nicely with the blue sky. Her number image is one of two in a panorama that came out a little crooked.
Diane chose #0079, the last of her “James Bond” series. Also part of a panorama, 1 of 6, of the late evening light at sunset enriching the fall colors of the aspen along the rim of Transept Canyon.
Yogi chose #69 and is on vacation with his family. People from around the world visit Mesa Verde National Park while on vacation and hopefully stop by the Farview House, an Ancestral Puebloan ruin. Between cliff dwelling tours I used to rove here yet there were never many visitors.
Shane chose #8165, a majestic female kudu seen at Addo Elephant National Park during my last visit to South Africa in 2014. The male kudu have a stately set of horns.
Sallie chose #6, an earlier view of the fall aspen taken the same day as the second and third photos above. Light sure makes a difference.
My choice, a favorite view looking across Grand Canyon from Cape Royal overlook at Wotans Throne. Spent a couple hours here on Tuesday answering visitor questions and admiring the view.
Plus a bonus shot of a 6-8 inch (15-20 c) centipede that a visitor spotted along the trail.
And I’ll be posting soon about my visit yesterday to White Pocket while exploring the Paria Plateau.

Thank you for joining in the fun. First commenter will chose next week’s photo index number.
Do you have a favorite from this week?
I haven’t caught up on my blog reading so missed my pick for this Friday 🙁 Love the panorama shots, the colors are so warm! For next week I choose 531 for the day we move into the rig!
Soon, you will have more time, or not. I hear retirement keeps one very busy. 😉 Have you down for #531, a number to celebrate.
Cape Royal. beautiful!
Cape Royal really is an amazing overlook.
I like the pano shots and seeing the differences the light makes. We visited Fairview House when we were in MVNP… we thought the whole park was underused — its’ harder to get to I guess? Or maybe it was just wen we were there.
Your view while at work yesterday was wonderful; you do have the best fringe benefits ever!
I think most visitors to Mesa Verde are so focused on the cliff dwellings they don’t go to many of the mesa top sights. Truly a shame.
No number this week?
My kudu photo is cool. I really like the clouds in the Cape Royal shot, though. I’m hoping to get a few snaps from there in a month or so myself. 🙂
#2629 for me, please.
Let me know when you plan to visit the North Rim. Cape Royal is premo for sunset. Have you down for #2629.
Love that sunset, stunning colours, also the kudu is great. I have to agree with you though on your favourite of the canyon, that is just amazing. 0107 for next week. I can’t kill him off quite yet but I can interrupt 🙂 Have a good Sunday Diane
Thank you Diane. I just can’t tire of looking at or photographing the canyon. But wait until you see where I was earlier this week. Have you down for #0107.
We have yet to visit Mesa Verde. Last time we were in the area the weather turned on us and we didn’t make it – again. I love the photo of the Canyon!
I highly recommend Mesa Verde NP.
What wonderful pictures as always! I especially love the kudu looking directly at you. Amazing. And your choice of the stunning picture of the canyon, its colors and clouds. I’d frame that one for sure. How about 5231, the first 4 digits of my daughter’s wedding date?
Thank you Sherry. I haven’t printed a photo in a long time let alone frame one. Have you down for #5231. Look forward to seeing the wedding pics.
I have been so busy lately that I haven’t even been reading much of my favorite blogs. I’m hoping things will calm down now.
Did you use a tint of HDR on the Grand Canyon picture. It really works.
AThrowing my name in the hat with a number for next week again. I choose #1234. Random as always.
This new job keeps you running doesn’t it. Yes, some hdr on the canyon shot, maybe a bit too much. Have you down for #1234.
