This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 11 images chosen by readers including a lot of looking up and looking down.
Rita chose #9274. The Orange River flows between rock walls and below Augrabies Falls in South Africa.
Jim and Diana chose #1816, “the year Indiana (our current locale) was admitted to the Union.” Sunset over the Vallecito Mountains from my 12-21-14 visit to Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California.
Diane and Nigel chose #2010. Through the shuttle skylight Zion National Park shows it’s towering rock colors.
Jo chose #8552. One of six in a panorama of the mighty Colorado River flowing beneath Navajo Bridge.
Karen chose #313, her husband Jim’s birthday. One of many pieces of history seen at the Sharlot Hall Museum in Prescott, Arizona.
Pam and John chose #5154. A young Waterbuck in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
Jeff chose #52 for the 52nd Borrego Days Desert Festival they attended. The roofless kiva seen through this door in Spruce Tree House Mesa Verde National Park might have been used during festivals. It’s a stretch, I know. My second favorite shot this week.
Sherry and David chose #777. You’ll have to trust me that these are California Condors soaring over Navajo Bridge back in 2010. Unlike Sherry, I am terrible a photographing birds.
Donna chose #757. The end of June, 2009, a likely time for storms to develop in the Southwest. Off in the distance, past the Vermilion Cliffs, sets the Kaibab Plateau.
Yogi chose #7143. Sometimes magic occurs after the monsoon storms at the North Rim Grand Canyon.
Jodee and Bill chose #7323. A late June evening view south from Point Imperial overlook on the North Rim Grand Canyon.
Sallie and Bill chose #1030. More monsoon storms seen over the Rainbow Rim from Crazy Jug Point on the Kaibab National Forest.
Patti and Abi chose #490. As they travel through Europe the old ruins and ancient architecture might look a bit different than Wukoki Pueblo built about 900 years ago and seen in Wupatki National Monument in Arizona.
My choice, and favorite for the week, rock toadstools from the “Rock Factory” as my friend who took me there calls it. Located not too far from Lone Rock beach where I’ve been camping for a few days and trying to get over this diverticulitis. Thinking of going to Yarnell today.
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?
No particular favourites, but I do love the monsoon shots and the after result when magic happens. I was disappointed that there were no condors on the bridge shots but you saved them for after so I was happy again 🙂 Also love the Water buck, who could not love them. 2710 for next week please.
Keep well and drive safely, Diane and Nigel
Monsoon is my favorite season at the canyon and often brings the magic. Don’t always get lucky with Condors. Have you down for #2710.
Love the photo of the North rim of the Grand Canyon Gaelyn. But they are all magnificent !
No 3740 for next week please.
Thanks Rita. You get #3740 next week.
Those toadstools are pretty darned cool, Gaelyn! Let’s take 1819 this week, the year Alabama (our current locale) was admitted to the Union.
I do like to see unusual rocks. You get #1818 next week. Enjoy Alabama.
The rock toadstools are awesome. Quite unusual formations. I’d like 262 the distance to San Felipe I’ll be driving today. Thanks!
Have fun at the beach. #262 for you.
Great photos this week! Of course, any wildlife makes my day so our photo choice is perfect and the only wildlife this week! The North Rim is just so spectacular. I never tire of photos of the place. A repeat visit must be on our list for soon. The ruins are always a favorite. Love the kiva photo through the window:)
#7210
Thanks. You get #7210.
The ingenuity of the indigenous people was really quite something, wasn’t it?! You’re exploring such a wonderful area of the country, I look forward to all of the coming photos.
Next week #500
This shot was from 2005 when I worked at Mesa Verde. Yet you are right about the building skills. You get #500.
Thanks for the compliment Gaelyn. I’m sometimes lucky that’s all. I don’t usually have “A” favorite but this week I do. The shot through the doorway of the Kiva is just outstanding. Runners up are the monsoon picture. So atmospheric and of course the picture from the North Rim of the magnificient canyon. I don’t think anyone photographs it better than you do. I’d like #46 for next week please.
You may call it lucky but I think you are very good at taking photos of birds. You get #46.
I especially liked Patti & Abi’s choice
Next week: #767
My favorite this week too. You get #767.
I love them all, especially the canyon views.
I am 9750 next week!!
Thanks Yogi. Have you down for #9750.
Thanks for the beauty and the memories . loved ‘our’ monsoon picture and the rainbow. And Spruce Tree house .. we loved Mesa Verde NP. And your ‘rock factory’ — fascinating place to camp close to … wow! Hope by now you are feeling well enough to enjoy the rest of your stay there. If i’m not too late (and I understand if I am) we’ll take #1957 if we may. We’re celebrating our 60th wedding anniversary soon and that was the big year! Thanks for the fun post.
Thank you Sallie. I so look forward to your nice comments. Congratulations on 60 years. You get #1957.
