Foto Friday Fun 332–every picture tells a story

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by 12 readers including Grand Canyon, South Africa, and a birthday bouquet.

Tredeuce chose #5357.  Crazy Jug, a favorite overlook, across Grand Canyon to the Great Thumb on the south side.

Pat chose #1550, “the time on the 24-hour clock when I arrive in Seattle.”  I’m not sure if that would be Belgrade or Seattle time, but she’s landed.  Time feels messed up when traveling far distances like across the Atlantic.  This shot was far away in Kruger National Park, South Africa.  Taken from a bird hide, one of few places to get out of your vehicle.

Gilda chose #9000.  Sunset from my favorite overlook, Cape Royal, on the North Rim Grand Canyon.

Rita chose #8376, one of five in a panorama.  Sometimes safari is about more than wildlife but also the breathtaking habitat they live in like at Mountain Zebra National Park, South Africa.

Diane and Nigel chose #1908.  I took 100s of wave pics during my 2013 visit to Tsitsikamma National Park, South Africa.

Mary chose #820.  Looking down Transcept Canyon from the Widforss Trail on the North Rim, across canyon to the South Rim, and beyond to the San Francisco Peaks in the hazy distance.

Chris chose #9542.  If he was as tall as a giraffe it would be easier to see some of the birds he enjoys watching and photographing.  Saw this one behind the trees and standing in a low place at the amazing Augrabies Falls National Park when I celebrated 60 in South Africa.

Jennifer chose #0385.  A stormy May 2015 view from the North Rim beyond Oza Butte and the Grand Canyon to the South Rim, Red Butte, and beyond to the San Francisco Peaks.

Jeff chose #1934, “the year of Frankie Valli’s birth as we have tickets to the Four Seasons tonight.”  Hope the concert was as good as seeing Grand Canyon in four seasons.  This shot from the North Rim Lodge in the morning during 2010 monsoon as first light hit the peak of Angels Gate.

Jodee and Bill chose #9401.  The entire landscape around the famous Wave is gorgeous as this shot proves.  The colors, contour, and topography are mind blowing.

Sallie and Bill chose #819 for her upcoming birthday.  I give this flower loving woman a bouquet of roses that dried perfectly in my makeshift cut crystal glass vase.  This shot taken in February 2012 and sadly all the little trinkets were lost a year later in the Yarnell Fire.

Yogi chose #614, “miles from South Dakota back to Tulsa this week.”  I wonder if this hummingbird flew that many miles.  Barely seen at a feeder outside my RV window when working at the North Rim Grand Canyon 7-16-09.

My choices this week from early August monsoon storm looking east from Bryce Canyon National Park and a few days later climbing onto the RV roof for a checkup.  Looking good.
