This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 5 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Our meme number for this week is 0006. 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.
Sallie chose #6 because “Next Friday we will only have 6 more days to get the Canal Cottage closed up for the season.” Spring of 2012 turned out to be a good season for watching the sky and my first attempt at photographing a partial eclipse of the sun. This opportunity happened while at Grand Canyon but with a solar filter on the lens the sky appears black. I later had fun putting together a series of the eclipse.
Diane chose #0407, another shot from a familiar place for her. These cormorants shared this snag with an egret seen from a bird hide along the Mankwe Dam in Pilanesberg Game Reserve, South Africa.
Sherry chose #877. With as warm as it’s been the sight of icicles on my 5th-wheel in April might have a cooling effect. It sure did for me the day after I arrived to the North Rim in 2014.
Yogi chose #6666. With his recent adventures hiking in Hawaii he should appreciate the yellow footprint markers on the rocks along the challenging Waterfall trail in Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa. The other orange colors are lichens.
Shane chose #3448. This flowering lichen grew on one of the many thorny bushes that grow in South Africa. Saw this in Addo Elephant National Park during my February 2013 visit.
My choice this week is just a part of the view (more on Monday) hiking on the Arizona Trail with Bill and Sasha Wednesday.

Do you have a favorite from this week?
Love that water picture from South Africa. Every time I tell anyone about my friend Gaelyn who spends her summers at the North Rim and her winters often in South Africa, their eyes pop out. We all agree, you have the life! I’ll take number 7364 for next week please.
Love my shot but also the others bring back some fabulous memories, Your eclipse photos are fantastic. 0507 for next week please.
Thanks Diane. Taking photos is all about the memories. Have you down for #0507.
I love ‘my’ eclipse. Since I’ll be eclipsed myself next Friday, I am not going to choose a number this week (we should be back in Oregon if all goes well, but will be getting in quite late Thursday and staying overnight with our daughter. Doubt if I’ll be looking at the computer for a few days!
But in the meantime (and as soon as I can after) I will be checking in here to see about your hiking adventures.
Have a safe journey to Oregon.
Wow, I think I remember the eclipse post in 2012. Brilliant! My favorite is the Tsetsikama Waterfall trail. Have a great day. Jo
I’d go back to that waterfall trail in a heartbeat.
I really loved the hiking photo you picked out for me.
My number for next week is 5555, cuz
Because you are a hiker. Have you down for #5555.
