Foto Friday Fun 282–every picture has a story

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by ten readers including South African wildlife, plus shots from the US Southwest, Northwest and mid-west.

Diane and Nigel chose #28, their wedding anniversary was Tuesday.  The end of August and beginning of September marked Autumn back in 1974 when this shot was taken on a vacation with my boyfriend in the upper peninsula of Michigan.  Nice reflection in the calm water held back by the beaver dam.

Sue chose #7427.  The first time I visited Addo Elephant National Park I saw more of these warthogs than elephants.  But as you’ll notice in another shot two down, I also saw elephants.

Jodee and Bill chose #2311.  Sometimes it’s difficult to say why I took a photo except I labeled it “Butt rock” from my first visit to Toroweap in 2010.

Sherry and David chose #8248.  So it seems I like to take photos of butts.  I think it’s because the animals are often walking away.  But, I did write a post about butts.

Rita chose #9951.  Yet another animal from South Africa but not a butt.  Instead the head of a terrapin in Pilanesberg Game Reserve.

Gail chose #1754, “the current time (military) as I write this.”  Not even close to the time I saw the Sterkspruit Falls in the Drakensberg Mountains of South Africa even with the time difference.

Yogi chose #0567, without the help of random dot org.  This is no random dot lighthouse seen along the Coquille River where it meets the sea in Bandon, Oregon when Berta and I were beach bumming in November 2014.

Jeff chose #2012, “the year pediatric cancer awareness became mainstream.”  Followed two years later when “President Obama declared September to be Childhood Cancer Awareness month, and lit the White House Gold.”  That’s a tough act to follow Jeff.  Here, I’m following my guide John, son of blogger Jo, on our return hike in the Drakensberg Mountains.

Pam and John chose #5208.  Derek Suwaima-Davis, hoop-dancing at the 2014 Heritage Days at the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park.

Sallie and Bill chose #1238.  Called Navajo Bridge, there are actually two bridges.  The older on the left is now only for walking while the newer on the right is driven.  Good place to look for California Condors.

My choice from the yard here in Yarnell because I liked the light.
