Foto Friday Fun 194

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by nine readers from my photo files including some Christmas memories.

Mary Lou chose #7572.  Sherry wondered if elephants spray water so look closely for it.  It’s like being at a playground to watch elephants at a water hole in Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa.

Pam and John chose #1216.  Before the Yarnell Fire I used to walk up into the Weaver Mountains regularly.  The dried Century plants are the tallest thing around but the trail will take me a little higher for a big view into the valley below.

Jodee and Bill chose #6951.  Last year Bill and I spent Christmas at his son and DIL’s in Spanish Fork, Utah where the snow was deep.  I hope this year in Kanab, Utah isn’t quite so white.

Diane and Nigel chose #4444.  This shot of Wotan’s Throne was taken a year before their visit this summer to the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park.  I love July monsoon.

Donna chose #367.  Not the best shot but I sure like the contrasting Christmas colors of the House Finches seen at my Yarnell feeders from January 2012.

Sallie chose #75, “the number of words in this comment (thought I’d save you the time counting, for a change).”  Twas the night before Christmas…  well not really but that’s the story I portrayed in my craft store windows in Tonasket, Washington back in 1985.

Sherry and David chose #5217.  A wonderful winter hike with flowers and Mountain Sheep along Palm Canyon Trail in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California during February, 2015.  I’d like to return to show Bill this amazing landscape.  He likes deserts with few trees and the only places their are trees here is at the few oasis.

Yogi chose #3974.  This European Roller is pretty enough to be a Christmas ornament as are so many of what I’d consider exotic and colorful birds seen in Kruger National Park, South Africa.  Maybe minus the meal worm.

Patti chose #80 in her jumps of 10.  This scanned photo from 1987 shows one of my stained glass pieces on display at the Wenatchee Washington Junior College.

My choice from a drive last week of the Weaver Mountains in Peeples Valley.  Haven’t been out shooting much lately.
