This week’s Foto Friday Fun features ten images chosen by readers and includes a new addition to the camper.
Diane and Nigel chose #1711. They may remember this view from their visit to Cape Royal overlook at the North Rim Grand Canyon. I love when clouds create light and shadow play in the canyon.
Jo chose #3825. A sight she’s surely seen in her South African home country. Though it is not very common to see a hippo out of or very far from water like this one in Kruger National Park.
Jim and Diana chose #418. Sandstone cliffs frequently tower above the Highway 9 drive in eastern Zion National Park.
Rita chose #7354. I know she shares my love for Grand Canyon and I especially like when low clouds dance around the topography.
Donna chose #797. Airplane window shots are never great but I always try for them anyway. This was flying over the south Texas coast on my way to Harlingen to visit my parents in January 2010.
Pam and John chose #7111. They are, or were recently, at Joshua Tree National Park so maybe they know what this plant is I saw along the Barker Dam Trail.
Jeff chose #1864 because I was going to the Alabama Hills named after the 1864 “Battle of Cherbourg, where the Union ship Kearsarge defeats the Conferate raider Alabama off the coast of France.” I don’t think his choice has much to do with history. It is one of a three photo panorama of a big tree near the lodge in Zion National Park.
Jodee and Bill chose #6290. I took 1000s of photos of waves at Tsitsikamma National Park in an effort to get a big South African splash. Sometimes I got luckier than others.
Patti and Abi chose #530. When camping at Indian Garden on a rim to rim Grand Canyon hike it is always worth an extra walk to Plateau Point for sunset. This time I caught the glow of last light on Cheops Pyramid.
Sherry and David chose #2311. A rather sparse bit of scrubby desert in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California.
My choice where I’m currently parked in Berta’s yard in Yarnell, Arizona. Made it back in time for an early Thanksgiving dinner and took her to the airplane shuttle so she could spend time with her Portland, Oregon family while I kitty sit. Notice what I added to the camper bumper. Not too bad for a hand paint job. And yes, I know the step is broken.
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?
Hi Gaelyn, Well of course my fav here is Grand Canyon No 530 the Plateau Point sunset. I guess that is spectacular to see. The no 9997 is my choice for the next photo Friday.
I just knew it would be and you had a couple choices. The canyon landmarks looks unfamiliar from within. You get #9997 next week.
Love our 418! 🙂 Great job on the bumper. I call that ‘happy font’…as it looks fun!
Let’s do 877 next week.
I like that “happy font”. You get #877.
Great collection of photos as usual. I love the tree at the Alabama Hills. I was wondering where the name came from and now I know, although I don’t know why.
My number next week is 1775.
Thanks Yogi. I remember reading about Alabama Hills being named but don’t know why either. You get #1775 next week.
I near tire of photos of the canyon. Love you sunset photo from your rim to rim hike:) That hippo is awesome! We are heading out of Joshua Tree today. I have seen that bush but don’t know what it is. As much time as we spend in the desert, you’d think I be better at naming the vegetation. One day I need to get serious and get a book. Very good idea to add you blog address!
I’m best at learning to ID vegetation when I work at a park. And I have field guides but am lazy. Safe journey.
Hit the wrong key!! Next week #2407
l too hit the wrong key. Have you down for #2407.
Having been to the Big Tree Lodge I do like my choice this week, but your new bumper and its ‘happy font’ are a close second. 🙂 I notice my choice for next week has recently been used. I’d like 2600 from the street sign in Baypark seen while walking to Mission Bay.
I really like the “happy font” name. You get #2600 next week.
Beautiful blue coastline, even through the airplane window.
Next week: # 807
Thanks Donna. I always wish I could wash airplane windows. 😉 You get #807 next week.
The hippo in the woods is fantastic. Such a rhrill to see it. Of course I love the opening and the sunset pictures from within the canyon. Gorgeous both. Really want to visit Anza so our choice is great. Hope to see that happy font bumper in person one day. I’d like #5200 fir next week please.
Anza-Borrego has much prettier places than that photo. I surely do hope our paths cross in real time some day. Have you down for #5200.
Oh, I love our photo pick for this week, the light on the pyramid point is perfect. So pretty.
Love the geogypsytraveler.com on the bumper. Free marketing, what’s not to love?!
#540 for next week, please.
I’ve been wanting the blog URL on the bumper for years and finally gave up on doing a printer. You get #540 next week.
A great set of photos and yes we sure remember that view. Love the shot of the hippo as well. Hot and windy here in Nevis wonderful. 2411 for next week please. Take care Diane and Nigel
Thanks Diane. Glad you found some warm weather. Already had you down for #2411.
Ok. I’m going to try again 7777. It seems I can comment from my phone but not the computer.
Thanks for being persistent. Sure wish I knew why some devices work when others don’t. Have you down for #7777.
