This week’s Foto Friday Fun features images chosen by nine readers including Earth, art, and curls.
Jennifer chose #8888. Sandstone eroding back to sand along the Wire Pass trail on the hike to the Wave in southern Utah. As much as she likes rocks, and really who doesn’t, the Wave is a must see even if only in photographs.
Diane and Nigel chose #702. From first hike on Wire Pass trail in 2009 through slot canyons and on the way to Buckskin Gulch slot canyon. Such a contrast, a dry desert carved by water.
Sue chose #2020, “just because I want to be optimistic that something good will happen in the coming year.” I’m with you on that! And seems many others have chosen this number as the oldest I could find from August 2016, a drive by shot of the clouds in southern Utah, because I’m a nepholographer.
Jeff chose #19, “having just watched “Only the Brave” documentary on the Yarnell fire where 19 firefighters died.” Although I was living at Grand Canyon at the time I considered Yarnell home and have no desire to see this movie. At another home during 1980 I lived in Hanover Park, Illinois and practiced the craft of stained glass. My ex-husband had a green thumb.
Melissa chose #521, “my GrandDaughter who Sparkles wherever she goes!” Quaking Aspen leaves also sparkle when blown in the wind and especially when they turn to gold in the fall. This shot from 2008 was taken along the edge of Harvey Meadow along the drive to the Widforss trail on the North Rim Grand Canyon National Park.
Rita chose #7965. A light dusting of snow frosts these mesas like a layer cake. Taken in January 2016–the winter I lived in Kanab, Utah–along SR9 heading west from Zion National Park.
Yogi chose #1177. Just one shot among thousands of sunsets over the Weaver Mountains from where I lived in Yarnell, Arizona. This one even includes crepuscular rays.
Jo chose #2008. This Bolete mushroom—that I think looks like a big muffin—was seen growing along the Arizona Trail on the North Rim Grand Canyon. Although a delicious edible, it was the only one around so I left it something else to enjoy.
Sallie and Bill chose #67, “The percentage of battery left on my IPad this morning.” There were no iPads or iAnything back in 1984 when this shot of me was taken in my craft store in Tonasket, Washington. OMG, look at that hair! It took four hours to put in the perm-rods for those curls.
My choice is another version of Sunday night’s sunset taken from Shady Lane RV Park in Quartzsite, Arizona where I’m still parked to get the fridge repaired.
