This week’s Foto Friday Fun features nine images chosen by readers including Utah red rock, a couple antiques, and first shot of the year.
Rita chose #99. My friend Berta has an eye for the interesting and often old. (First antique.) She buys, enjoys, and sometimes sells. I took a photo of this old beer tray for her to use and sell this item.
Sherry and David chose #9017. On the drive between Upington and the Kalahari National Park are salt pans in South Africa.
Gayle chose #1994, “the year that I started traveling solo down South and elsewhere.” In 2013 I traveled solo part of my time in South Africa. Yet the above shot of an unidentified flower was taken when hiking the Echo Ravine Trail with Joan in Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
Jeff chose #2018, one of a four shot panorama. This view from a scenic drive also from Golden Gate Highlands National Park.
Pam and John chose #7192. Ranger Pam lead an interesting geology walk in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
Yogi gets #57 for the number of words in his comment last week. That’s me celebrating a second birthday in 1956. (Second antique.)
Donna chose #847, one of five in a panorama. After hiking the mile out to the Toadstools an approaching storm sent me back up the trail in a hurry.
Diane and Nigel chose #3112, “for the last day of the year.” Egrets seem a common enough bird seen in the States but this one was strolling down a road in Addo Elephant National Park South Africa.
Patti and Abi chose #580. They couldn’t comment on the blog, this happens sometimes and I don’t know why, so she left a comment on Facebook. Hiking Buckskin Gulch slot canyon in southern Utah is awesome but may not be for someone claustrophobic.
My choice, the first photo taken in 2018 in the dark of pre-dawn as the full moon set.
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?
Good morning Gaelyn. That is so strange because I used to be in the antique trade and had my own antique shop. Love the cute birthday photo of you. My favourite for today is the Full Moon 2018 its a great photo.I will choose number 357 for next weeks Foto Friday.
Thanks Rita. Berta and I still visit thrift stores regularly. Just don’t collect as much any more. You get #357 next week.
I think it will have to be a three way tie between rhe slot canyon, the toadstool storm and that sweet picture of you. Love that your first picture of 2018 is the beautiful full moon. I’ll have #182 for next week.
I do like to take stormy sky photos for the drama. Have you down for #182.
I love the Buckskin gulch shot and the moon shot especially. My number next week is 4932.
Slot canyons are tough to shoot being so dark with bright sky above. #4932 for you.
An ever made it to Buckskin, but I love the slots. So I choose 581, just in case it is another Buckskin shot
Buckskin in a nice slot because it’s not technical requiring ropes. Let’s see what #581 brings next week.
The Jan 1st Super Moon will be the biggest of 2018, that’s a very nice picture of it. For next week I’d like 1937 the year the Torote (Elephant Tree) was first documented in Anza Borrego.
I’m so struggling with shooting the moon. Glad there’s some more at least full ones to practice on. Have you down for #1937.
Still feeling pretty awful despite antibiotics but think I am slowly on the mend,
Love those slot canyons and of course ‘our’ egret. May have more to say next week 🙂
501 for next week please. Diane and Nigel
Sorry to hear you’re still not feeling well. #501 for you.
Perfect photo for us this week!!
#1005
Funny how that sometimes works out. Have you down for #1005.
I liked my panoramic choice this week.
Next week: #857
I’ve liked to take panoramas since prints taped together and posted on the refrigerator door. You get #857.
Love the pano shots …. I can’t find that on my new camera; it must be there but I suppose I’ll have to read the book. I’d love to try hiking that slot canyon (or any slot canyon) before I’m too old to walk. On my bucket list. 7201 for next week?
I take multiple photos then use software to stitch them together into panoramas. Used to tape prints together. You get #7201.
