This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by seven readers from my photo files including a shot from my artistic past.
Sherry and David chose #9999. A rather chilly morning greeting to the North Rim April 26, 2015 from my RV windows. Though I do consider clouds in Grand Canyon a very special sight.
Mary Lou chose #7426. I’ve never used a solar oven before. This one is sitting next to a refurbished 1958 Rocket trailer at a friends that is available to rent in Joshua Tree California.
John and Pam chose #0730. Rather uncanny due to the recent Yarnell fire. I believe it was the county who dug holes, brought dirt, and replanted two trees on every lot that had lost trees to the 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire. This dirt delivery came almost a year later in April 2014.
Yogi chose #5056. Sunsets are always a delight. This one over the Weaver Mountains caused me to stop on the side of the road in Kirkland, Arizona on my way home to Yarnell from Prescott on March 27, 2013. That would have been the day I looked at the truck I currently own, and the day after my birthday. Yogi knows all about celebrating birthdays.
Jodee and Bill chose #92. Back in the 1980s my main craft was stained glass. Then my husband and I bought a sail boat, spending more time on board and helped out a fellow running a “Bunk and Breakfast” on his tugboat moored on Lake Union, Seattle, Washington. I made this piece for him with his tug supposedly in the tugboat races before giving up the craft.
Donna chose #47. An interesting view at Spruce Tree House from when I worked at Mesa Verde National Park in 2005.
Diane chose #7775. This big male elephant hung out by the waterhole at Addo Elephant National Park.
My choice from Monday at Snake Gulch where the grass won and we lost.
Please join in for next week by leaving a number between 1 and 9999 in your comment below. A big thanks to everyone for playing along with Foto Friday Fun and allowing me to share these photographs and memories.
Do you have a favorite this week?
Great photos- my favorite this week is sunset at Weaver Mountain. Please put me down for 6176 for next week.
Thanks Mary Lou. Who doesn’t love a sunset. Have you down for #6176.
Oh goodness so many great pictures. I won’t try to pick one, I almost never can but I love the elephant and your stained glass is gorgeous. You are seriously an artist. How he must treasure that. How nice of the county to replant two trees on every lot. It’s true that you can rebuild a house but you cannot replace fully grown trees and all that they provide. Love the look through at Mesa Verde. A very artistic picture. And of course any sunset or sunrise ranks way up on my list of favorites. May I have #19 for next week please?
Thanks Sherry. I guess my latest craft is photography. Those trees are growing like crazy. Have you down for #19.
Boy, my number choice certainly was timely. Poor Yarnell!
Your stained glass tug work is wonderful! Great job:)
#6941
Thanks, I really enjoyed doing stained glass but it just wasn’t very portable. You seem to have a knack for numbers, and many other things as well. Have you down for #6941.
I think I love the elephant the most, although I am impressed with your stained glass. #1612
Thanks Jean. Elephants are my favorite. Have you down for #1612. Thanks for joining in.
I love the scenery pics and the elephant. I also like my choice of the Spruce Tree House.
Next week: #57
Thanks Donna. Have you down for #57.
My favorite this week is the first one, the cold morning with the clouds. I can feel the cold!
#114
Considering it’s pretty hot at the canyon right now the snowy cold sight is refreshing. Have you down for #114.
What beautiful glass artwork that is! I do hope the new trees have survived the latest fire. The National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder (we visited yesterday) has a film on the study of fire behavior that came from the tragic death of the 19 firefighters. It is very well done, but very sad. #838 for next week please.
Thanks Jodee. It was a fun craft for a while but not very mobile. This Yarnell fire was on the opposite (east) side of town from the last. I’d like to see that fire behavior film. Have you down for #838.
7776 for next week please. Wow great male elephant 😊 in Dallas at present, see you very soon. Diane;-)
Bet it’s hot in Dallas. Have you down for #7776. Count down is on.
Hi Gaelyn always interesting posts. I love the idea of a solar oven. And your stained glass painting is good. Was Spruce Tree House in Mexico? Looks a lot like the ruins Grant and I visited in the Nubian desert in the Sudan. Have a great day. Jo xx
Thanks Jo. Spruce Tree House is in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. Similar to ruins all over the Southwest.
