This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by nine readers from my photo files including a few more oldies and way too much snow.
Mary Lou chose #7514. Dome Rock BLM near Quartzsite, Arizona is a nice place to camp among the saguaros. Was there in March, 2015 and may get back again this winter.
Pam and John chose #14. After working the 2003 summer season leading cave tours at Oregon Caves I decided to stay for a while as a winter volunteer. Guess I didn’t realize just how much snow fell in the Siskiyou National Forest. I was actually snowed in very several days. Doesn’t the Chateau look like it belongs in the Alps instead of Oregon.
Diane and Nigel chose #5555. Oh no, more snow. This time not as much and seen along the road to the North Rim last Novemeber.
Ann and Bill chose #28. In January, 2005 my dear friend Darlene and I took her 5th-wheel towed by my truck to San Felipe, Baja Mexico. We parked at a friend’s property and enjoyed a month of exploring. Our host, Chuck on the left, and his friend Eric took me hiking and held this boulder so I could pass. 
Patti chose #74. Halloween 2005, Darlene and I helped out at the Congress, Arizona celebration for the school kids. I don’t frequently dress or party for Halloween, but this one was one of the best.
Pam chose #51. Another real blast from the past. Me and a cousin in September 1955 taken in my backyard in Hinsdale, Illinois.
Sherry and David chose #70. I was inspired by my Grandfather’s stained glass decades ago and worked with glass for many years.
Donna chose #277. A very fuzzy shot of my desk in the old 5th-wheel taken in Yarnell, Arizona November 2008. I sure like the bigger space I have now.
Yogi chose #25. Being dug out of more than 25 inches of snow, and several days snowbound, during winter of 1996 at the Pine Creek Work Station, Gifford Pinchot National Forest, Washington. And if this wasn’t enough excitement, only weeks later massive flooding meant a helicopter rescue.
My choice this week of fall on the North Rim. The building is an old storage shed near my office.
Please join in 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?
Oh wow, Gaelyn, All the snow images! Any evacuation in remote areas is always exciting! Who is pushing whom in the 1955 picture? My all time favorite is the shed in the last photo. Looks so serene along the avenue of trees. Have a great weekend. Jo . PS remember when you next come to SA, as you know, we’re in the Berg now. And you’re WELCOME !
Way too much snow. I was pushing my cousin. Thanks, I really like that fall shot. I look forward to visiting you in the Bergs.
The Halloween photo and the guys holding the rock up for you are great. Yet I love the last photo of the storage shed, the green painted around the doors seems to add an unexpected color and pulls all the other softer colors together, especially among the yellow/gold of the trees. It makes for a good ‘center’ and draws the eye to that area . It would make a beautiful wall mural at my house! ha..
Next week I’d like to see where you were in 1968 which is the year my only child was born, so I’ll choose #68 for my photo choice. It’s the first cold snap for us in Louisiana so my daughter and I are headed out tent camping this weekend!
Thanks Pam. That shed shot has become one of my recent favorites. You’re camping in the cold? Have you down for #68.
Our photo choice is gorgeous (as long as we aren’t in the middle of it)!! But three snow photos isn’t a good sign for the upcoming season! Brrrr! I can’t wait to get back to my favorite cactus…really miss the saguaro:)
#8216
Too much snow for me. Glad I’m headed to lower elevation. And cactus. Have you down for #8216.
These were great – I particularly enjoyed the “chalet” shot.
My pick for next week is #708
Thanks Elaine. The Oregon Caves chalet is a marvelous historic place to stay. Have you down for #708.
I guess we’re all tied into the upcoming winter season! The Oregon snow is so beautiful, but I agree that being in it might be less so. Love your witchy hat and pumpkin friend :-))) 849 for next week please.
I’m not ready for winter. Have you down for #849.
We are never ready for winter we love the colours of autumn but the weather change does not go down well!! You can keep the snow and we will appreciate the last photo !! We are already saying roll on spring!!!! 5556 for next week please. Hope you enjoy your weekend and you are now settled again until you move on for warmer days 🙂 Diane and Nigel
I’d really like to live an endless summer, with a touch of spring and fall. I’ll probably see at least a little snow this winter but I could live without it. Parked at my latest new home. Pretty nice. And just the beginning of fall. You get #5556 next week. Be well.
I guess my previous comment about stain glass was not acceptable. I do like the pictures of your stained glass work.
Sometimes the comment thing on my blog is weird. Didn’t see an earlier comment. I thank you. Stained glass was a rewarding hobby but not very mobile friendly.
Oh man, way too much snow for me!!
I’m going with 5000 for next week cuz I am a middle child after all.
Truly too much snow. Hoping there’s not too much here this winter. Have you down for #5000.
Enjoyed them all. My favorite this week is my choice of the one from Dome Rock BLM. Please put me down for 1229 for next week.
Thanks Mary Lou. I look forward to seeing the saguaros this winter. You get #1229 next week.
I think I would love living in that Siskiyou chateau . . . for like two days. I think it would be awesome for those two days, though.
Nice set of photos. #9264 for me, please.
Thanks Shane. It could get like the shinning during winter in that chateau. There is a ghost. Yet it’s a gorgeous historic structure from the 1930s. You get #9264. Nice to see you back.
Love all the blasts from the past, you at Halloween and your beautiful stained glass. You really are talented. Thanks for the snow pictures. We’ve been having an unusual Indian Summer with Temperatures in late October in the upper 80’s and humid. Record breakers actually. And they aren’t even talking about climate change in the debates. SIGH…… How about 6196 for next week.
Thanks Sherry. Stained glass isn’t a very portable craft. I could do without the snow and hope there isn’t too much here this winter, although it’s needed. Better for me to just run away from it further south. 😉 I’d say it got to the 80s today in my new location. Nobody wants to talk about climate change. Have you down for #6196.
Next week I choose #287
You’ll get #287.
my favorite has to be the boulders being held up for you because I have kind of a similar shot of our son and Bill holding one up for me (in either Canyonlands or Moab…i’d have to look for sure, but it was that trip)….. Loved sharing all your memories and all your scenery. I choose # 1201 (time — I’m out of creative ideas as usual)… if I am on time this week.
Thank you Sallie. Those big boulder shots are always fun. Takes me right back to that hike. You’re in time for #1201.
Pictures this week are terrific, I especially love the black/white photo of you and your cousin in the swing – precious nostalgia.
Next week – let’s go way back to # 14.
Thanks Patti. I enjoy the memories drawn out of the pics, even if I don’t quite remember being there. We’ll see how far back I can get with #14.
