Foto Friday Fun 278

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by 11 readers is one mixed bag of photos from old to new.

Diane and Nigel chose #2702.  Probably wondering why I took a pic of a pile of dirt but they might recognize a dug out termite mound.  This one seen at Mountain Zebra National Park, South Africa.

Sherry and David chose #1.  From 1958, my Dad’s mother and step-father, Grandma Bea and Grandpa Butch to me.  She taught me how to play jacks and build houses from Pinochle decks.  He taught me how to fish on Enterprise Lake where their Wisconsin log cabin was.

Debi chose #6389.  A pretty, unidentified flower growing along the Waterfall Trail at Wild Spirit Backpackers Lodge in South Africa.  One of the most amazing places I stayed.

Sue chose #2014, “for the year my soul cat Jeremy left the planet.”  Always a sad time to loose a fur baby.  So I send to you a sunset shot taken at Toroweap overlook along the rim of Grand Canyon National Park.

Yogi gets #33 for the number of words in his comment last week.  He appreciates older cars so may like to see my Mom’s Cadillac being used as a workhorse back in 1974 while on vacation with boyfriend and friends in Bessemer, Michigan.  When packing up to return home we’d put so much weight in the canoe we had to use the climbing gear on a huge tree branch to lift it then drove the car underneath.

Rita chose #1089.  She loves seeing the Grand Canyon so should appreciate this shot of fellow staff hiking out of Matkatamiba Canyon during my Colorado River rafting trip in August 2011.

Jeff chose #1332, “for the upcoming meteor shower, which is courtesy of Swift-Tuttle with its 133.2 year orbit.”  I guess you couldn’t really watch a meteor shower from inside the Rough Rider Saloon on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park.  But along the rim is quite a delight for night sky watching.

Pam and John chose #3007.  A view they have surely enjoyed, sunset over the badlands from Font’s Point at Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, California on January, 7, 2015.

Sallie and Bill chose #8139 for Bill’s birthday.  Happy belated!  I give you an awesome rock seen along the White Domes Loop Trail in Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Pat chose #731, “today’s date, minus the year.”  On this date, 5-14-09, not minus the year, I camped at Lone Rock Beach along the shores of Lake Powell.

MoHobyDick chose #0813, “for the beginning of a special journey.”  I think this was a special journey for the four brothers to experience hurricane force winds at Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport, Oregon when Berta and I visited in November, 2014.  In fact, she paid for this because the parents had no cash and we wanted to watch.

My choice from the last morning of my recent journey out on the Coconino National Forest when the early light brought on a golden glow as the moon looked on.
