This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 10 images chosen by readers from my photo files including lots of variety of rock, because I’m a rock hound. 
Donna chose #657. Kind of looks like Flintstones’ pigeon holes but is really erosion by water in Navajo sandstone in Buckskin Gulch slot canyon.
Jim and Diana chose #9517. Look closely for the Southern Rock Agama with a brilliant blue head seen at Augrabies Falls National Park, South Africa.
Ann chose #23. My first season at Mount St Helens in 1992 I hiked with staff including volcanologists across the pumice plain, past Loowit Falls seen here, and into the crater.
Diane and Nigel chose #408. I bought this broken clay pot from a local who presumably found it in the area and claims it’s an artifact. It decorated my Yarnell rock garden back in 2008.
Pam and John chose #8040. August is monsoon time at Grand Canyon and sometimes the clouds swirl around the rock temples.
Sallie and Bill chose #100. My friend Patti taught me how to tie dye, and shows her dyed hands, in 2006.
Sherry and David chose #27. From the early 1970s when my boyfriend and another couple went to the upper peninsula of Michigan where we canoed on several lakes, this by a beaver dam.
Patti and Abi chose #390. Interesting wispy clouds from somewhere in Arizona.
Jodee and Bill chose #6011. From 2014, the only year I haven’t posted about Native American Heritage Days. Miss Hopi and her attendants asked the children in the crowd to do the dog tail dance. I just saw that dance again yesterday at this year’s Heritage Days.
Jeff chose #1796. A different perspective of a curvy road in Zion National Park, Utah.
My choice from this week’s days off camping at Crazy Jug Point watching a storm cross Grand Canyon. More coming on that.
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?
That last shot is spectacular but I find the first one very interesting. I like the pot a perfect item to decorate the garden with.
I am hoping that this message will go through! 1108 for next week please. Take care Diane and Nigel
Thanks Diane. I like to see the big and small of the world. #1108 for you next week.
Sorry I haven’t been by. Too busy with work and play.
I am a rock hound too.
Next week #667
Rocks are cool! You get #667 next week.
Love all the photos this week, Gaelyn! Hard to pick a favorite. Let’s go with 821 for next week, as that is the date of the eclipse. Preperations are at a fever pitch here in central Oregon!
Thanks. I can’t imagine living or being in the path of totality. Too many people. Hope to have Marble View to myself. Have you down for #821.
What an awesome week of photo choices! Love the rock wall in Buckskin Gulch. How neat you got to hike so close to the crater of Mount St Helen’s:) Great clouds in the canyon for our photo choice!
#1711
Thanks. We actually hiked into the crater and right up to the then small dome. Was very exciting. Have you down for #1711.
Sorry I haven’t been around your blog. Am way too busy and missing everyone’s adventures.
Well you gotta’ know that the tie-dyed shirt picture is just perfect for your friends from Eugene Oregon! I’ve never tried it myself and based on your friend’s hands, I think I’m happy with that… somebody’s gotta’ support the vendors at the Saturday market doncha think?
My favorite is the first one because of how fabulously you captured that amazing erosion. But as always enjoyed every one of your memories. Let’s go way back next week — maybe #1 or whatever earliest one somebody else hasn’t already chosen?
I learned to tie dye in Oregon and my friend sold at a Barter Faire. You get #1.
Terrific pictures Gaelyn. I love Navajo Sandstone erosion and the little blue head. Really nice. Very eerie great picture at Mt. St. Helens same for the Monsoon clouds. You must be in monsoon now. I’m envying you at Native Heritage days. But WOW is that picture from crazy jug point fantastic. Happy to hear more is coming on this. Put me down for #1127 for next week please.
Thanks Sherry. Monsoon is in full swing and I love it. Heritage Days went well, in between the storms. You get #1127.
Those are some good wispy clouds! We’ve driven that road in Zion and it’s really spectacular but a bit hairy for peeps such as myself who are terrified of heights. I did it though!
Your first picture of the pigeon hole rock surface is so cool!
Next week #400
And those are my kind of roads. You get #400 next week.
I loved the clay pot, I’ve been reading a little lately on what is legal and illegal to dig up on public and private land. Fascinating stuff and very confusing.
I love the last photograph. Been a long time since I have seen a rainstorm off in the distance.
Sorry I missed last week, I was checking on ole Dad, the forest ranger, up in Idaho. He was having a rough patch and things are better now.
I’m going for 4999 for next week.
Take care!!
Finding, and keeping, artifacts is confusing. I felt safe buying it at a yard sale.
Glad to hear your Dad is doing better. It’s rough when our parents are so far away.
#4999 for you next week.
Glad I got 2014 Heritage included at last :-)))) Something I know I’d enjoy a lot. We saw Mt St Helens yesterday for the first time and can’t imagine how different it must have looking in the whole area back in 1992. It’s still awe-inspiring now.
#2484 for next week please.
I’ll bet there’s a whole lot more vegetation at St Helens now. Haven’t been back in decades. One more reason to make a PNW road trip this fall. Have you down for #2484.
A monsoon over the Grand Canyon is gonna be hard to beat, each is unique and beautiful. I’ll take 1862 the year President Lincoln signed both the Homestead Act and the Emaciation Proclamation (effective 1/1/1863). Seems appropriate with the current unrest and desire for the American Dream.
Monsoon is my favorite time of year at the canyon. You get #1862.
