This week’s Foto Friday Fun features nine images chosen by readers from my photo files including a crazy collection from my past.
Jim and Diana chose #6924, “the difference in height between Bears Ears (8700 feet above sea level) and the top of the tallest tower in NYC.” Fun trivia. But of course this was sea level at the Indian Ocean in Tsitsikamma National Park along South Africa’s famous Garden Route.
Diane and Nigel chose #1003. In 2011, after a five day rafting trip on the Colorado River the National Park Service flew me from the South Rim airport in Tusyan to Kanab, Utah. This shot was over the Kaibab National Forest. For more of the canyon check out that story.
Mary Lou chose #7012. Where ever I travel stopping is often necessary when flowers are seen like roses along the N12 just North of George, South Africa in March, 2014. You know, stop and smell the roses.
Sherry and David chose #7777, one photo in a panorama of a sunset over the Weaver Mountains from when living in Yarnell, Arizona.
Jodee and Bill chose #4240. Oh how I love rocks. Big rocks, little rocks, brown rocks, white rocks, all rocks. These desert varnished rocks were near camp along Ogilby Road in Southeastern California.
Sallie gets #99 for the number of words in her comment. I guess most of us collect something. For years a thrift store attraction of mine was “Made in Japan” cute stuff, dust collectors. And of course, rocks. This display was by my desk in the last 5th-wheel.
Donna chose #487. Some of my stained glass displayed at a store in Oroville, Washington from 1982 when I lived in the Okanogan Valley.
Yogi chose #5100. So, maybe I’m weird. (No, I am weird.) But while on safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa I took this shot of an elephant peeing. Not something you see every day.
Patti chose #190. Back in 1996 while working at Mount St Helens a friend wanted to attend the Gay Pride March but didn’t want to go alone. So why not, I’d never been to a function like this and I support the LGBT.
My choice from a recent morning at the Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park that I’ll try to post about next week. Looks like scallops of a sea shell to me.
Thank you for playing along with Foto Friday Fun which allows me to share these photographs and memories. Please join in next week by leaving a number between 1 and 9999 in your comment below.
Do you have a favorite this week?
The elephant is my runaway favorite this week, Gaelyn! I love how he has the good sense to spread his legs, so as to not get his feet wet. 🙂
This week’s number is 821, which is the date of this year’s solar eclipse.
With that much pee on the pavement he probably got his feet wet anyway. 😀 Have you down for #821.
Another great set of photos and I love our shot and the link that goes with it. I have to admit to also liking the elephant photo, yes maybe we are a bit weird :-))
Sticking with dates and St Patrick’s day as well of course today, 1703 for next week
Thanks Diane. Flying over the canyon was an amazing experience. Have you down for #1703.
Enjoyed all the wonderful photos this week. Please put me down for 1217 for next week- Mary Lou
Thanks Mary Lou. Have you down for #1217.
Oh I love my mountain shots. They are my favorites this week although the elephant peeing and your choice of art in the sand also really attract me. I did so well with 7777 let’s try 8888 for next week please.
Yet another marvelous sunset. Mom nature is quite the artist with wind’s help. Have you down for #8888.
Thanks to Jodee and Bill, I like the rocks! Did not get into the fun this week 🙁 I’ll start on the even numbers for next time #2468 – Thanks!
I love rocks! Have you down for #2468.
I love all kinds of rocks too.
Next week: #497
Rocks are great! Have you down for #497.
We lived in Ashland, OR for 3 1/2 years and they have an amazing LGBT annual Gay Pride Day parade, so much fun we always made a point to go each year.
Before I read your caption on the last photo I thought, that looks like a sea shell. Great minds think alike.
Next week we hit #200 in my on-going leaps of 10.
I remember feeling the love at that function. Agree about great minds. 😉 Have you down for #200.
I’m just happy you are able to find a signal to post. I don’t collect anything but photos, however I do wonder what you did with your sweet ‘made in Japan’ collection when you traveled. (The reason I’m not a collector is that I gave away all the collectibles I had when we started RVing — too much to pack away every time we moved). I have not wanted to start again.
I must be totally weird too because I would definitely have taken that picture of the elephant!
I would go to a Gay Pride Parade if there were ever one where we were. We believe in their cause.
The sand dune picture is wonderful — look forward to more from there when you can. Sorry I made you count my words last week (they never deserve more than one glance). So next week, what about 934.
I don’t collect like that since the Yarnell fire lightened my load. Agree, it was just too much packing, and too much stuff. Much better to collect experiences with memories and photos.
I let the computer count the words, so no big deal. Have you down for #934.
We love rocks as well – all of them!! Where else am I going to see an elephant peeing?? On a road? 5474 for next week please.
😀 Have you down for #5474.
I love especially the aerial shot over the Kaibab NF. Sorry I am late. My number is 5200 for next week!
Not too surprising with all the flying, and layovers, you’ve been through lately. Welcome home! Have you down for #5200.
