Foto Friday Fun 218

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 12 images chosen by readers from my photo files including several sunsets plus a touch of snow.

Mary Lou chose #1157.  During spring at Toroweap overlook there’s more to see than the amazing view of the Colorado River.  Flowers like the Greenstem Paperflower bloom early before the heat of summer settles in.

Pam and John chose #601.     From a January 2012 visit to the South Rim Grand Canyon National Park a little snow could be seen clinging to the canyon walls as I gazed across the Big Ditch to my summer North Rim home.  I was attending a Grand Canyon History Symposium.

Jeff chose #060517, “the date we planned to leave.”  Had to shorten that to 6157 for this sunset over the Indian Ocean in Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa from 2-27-14.

Jim and Diana chose #1894, “the year Heceta Head lighthouse near Florence, Oregon was lit and it’s still shinning bright!”  They are volunteering at the lighthouse this summer.  I would happily volunteer at Tsitsikamma National Park in South Africa but have to be a resident to do so.  So instead I settled with a walk on the suspension bridge trail in 2013 where I saw this adorable Dassie looking up at me.

Sallie and Bill chose #9879, “part of my library card #.”  Don’t think they’ll be using that card much while they are on the road from Florida to Oregon right now.  And I didn’t need one either when visiting Pilanesberg Game Reserve in South Africa in March 2014 and saw this glorious sunset instead of reading a book.

Jodee and Bill chose #9000.  As fellow RVers they are currently watching sunsets over the Pacific Ocean.  This sunset was taken in February while I camped along Darby Well Road near Ajo Arizona.  Desert, beach, it’s all good at sunset.

Donna chose #577.  A backwards view from September 2011 of one of the many meadows seen along SR67 on the Kaibab National Forest.

Diane and Nigel chose #306.  Far views and big sky could be seen along SR89 as I drove north through the Painted Desert on 9-10-11, the same return trip to the North Rim as the above photo.

Jo chose #5832.  She may be familiar with Mount Frere, South Africa.  And I became too familiar with it after a little car accident near there during my 2014 visit.

Patti and Abi chose #310.  This sunset seen from Plateau Point in the depths of Grand Canyon from an October, 2009 rim to rim hike with friends.  Can you see the Colorado River?

Yogi chose #9001.  This is Joan’s and my camp while staying at Twee Rivieren in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park in South Africa.  We were glad of the shade trees during the summer heat even at 7:00 at night during March 2014.

Sherry and David chose #5656.  Quite the contrast to the previous image seeing the first of winter snow along SR67 on the Kaibab National Forest on 11-22-15.

My choice from a hike this week to the end of the Cape Final trail where the mouth of the Little Colorado River can be seen across Grand Canyon.
