This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by nine readers including unusual sandstone formations, an old camp trip, and lots of lions.

Sue chose #1002, “for the day we returned home.”  This was the first day I visited Kruger National Park, and the first day I saw lions.  These two brothers aren’t quite full grown as seen by the lack of a huge mane.  South Africa 3-8-2010.

Jeff chose #1023, “for Borrego Days beginning October 23rd.”  One of the young males from above.

Alan chose #5120.  An amazing sandstone formation lithified from ancient sand dunes seen while hiking upper Buckskin Canyon in southern Utah.

Diane and Nigel chose #810.  They may have seen this balancing rock as we drove by Cliff Dwellers between the North Rim Grand Canyon and Lee’s Ferry when they visited northern Arizona.

Cathy chose #1014.  Same pride of lions as above but more of the family.

Rita chose #88.  The inside of a rebuilt kiva at Aztec National Monument in New Mexico visited in 2005.

Sherry chose #1625.  An unknown mushroom seen along the Widforss trail on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park.

Jodee and Bill chose #1816, one of two in a panorama.  These sandstone cliffs were seen while hiking in the Drakensberg Mountains in South Africa in 2010.

Jo chose #9564.  The day after closing the lodge to guests on the North Rim all the furniture stacked in the auditorium for winter.  Kind of sad.

My choices from a road-trip adventure in October 1996 camping along the Snake River in Idaho.  Different truck and camper, younger me, and note those fuel prices.

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by 10 readers including stained glass, slot canyons, and ancient rock.

Cathy chose #3476.   A giant metal sculpture dragon at Galleta Meadows by Ricardo Breceda in Borrego Springs, California.

Alan chose #8191.  A short but sweet slot canyon along the White Domes Trail at Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Sue chose #29 for the morning temperature in Winnemucca last week.  Must have been warmer than that with butterflies around, though these are some of my earliest stained glass projects in 1980.

Gypsy chose #5420, “date of move to my current abode.”  This slot canyon was visited when my camper abode was in Anza Borrego Desert State Park in California.  Note the boulder wedged in at the top.

Diane and Nigel chose #110.  An ancient Puebloan basket in the museum at Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado from when I worked there in 2005.

Rita chose #88.  More stained glass now from 1987 when I was teaching the craft in Wenatchee, Washington.

Sherry chose #605.  I love the shape of skeletal trees.  This one seen along Bright Angel Point trail on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park.

Jennifer got #11 for the number of words in her last week’s comment.  Yet another stained glass piece I designed and built in 1980, my ex-husband made the wooden frame.

Jeff chose #672, “for the 6.72 inch shortfall” of San Diego’s water year that just ended.  Don’t see much water in southern Utah but that’s how Buckskin Gulch slot canyon formed from flowing water.

Jo chose #9576.  Most amazing sandstone features seen along the hike to the Wave.

This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by nine readers including Toroweap, lots of rock, a little water, sunsets, and some wildlife.

Diane and Nigel chose #2409.  As the sun sank in the west Earth’s shadow showed to the east from Tuweep overlook on the north side of Grand Canyon.

Rita chose #69.  From a 1988 art class in Wenatchee, Washington, this ink drawing of a Grey Wolf.  Sure glad I scanned all the old photos I had.

Sue chose #2321, “for the day we missed you at Bryce.”  The miss was not by much.  This shot from late in the day and pre-sunset also at Tuweep from the same day as above in 2010.

Doris chose #9756.  Sunset with crepuscular rays taken from the Wedding Site at Cape Royal on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park in June 2017, where it’s not always about the canyon.

Cathy chose #1442.  Bison/cattle hybrids, often called beefalo, can sometimes be seen in the meadows along the drive into the North Rim Grand Canyon.

Jo chose #9519.  This pinnacle of rock at Augrabies Falls National Park, South Africa seems to provide good roost for many birds.

Gypsy chose #1008.  An inviting place to swim in the pool at the base of Havasu Falls.

Alan chose #6342.  He most recently took a vacation to the beach in Alabama, not South Africa where this was shot.  Loved watching the Indian Ocean waves at Tsitsikamma National Park.

Sherry chose #1913.  Another shot from Tuweep same visit as above.

My choice is the amazing view I have to the west even on a cloudy afternoon.  More coming about my new home.
