This week’s Foto Friday Fun features 7 images chosen by readers from my photo archives. Plus trying something new. A few of you sounded up for a Foto Friday Fun meme so I’m choosing the first number, 8177, and adding a way for you to link your post and photo using that number. Please share a story to go along with your photo and link back to https://geogypsytraveler.com/2014/07/30/foto-friday-fun-70/ in your post. We’ll see how it goes. Oh, and the first person to comment on this post, who will participate in the meme, gets to pick next week’s number. Hope this works.
Jo chose #2090, “the date of my beautiful niece’s wedding next Saturday with a zero tagged onto the end.” I’m sure her niece is as beautiful as this statue I saw at Jacob Lake Inn where they display a wide variety of Native American art. Located 45 miles from the North Rim, Jacob Lake is also famous for their variety of home-made cookies. It’s a must stop on the way in, and out, of Highway 67 to the Grand Canyon. Jo says she loves memes and I’ll bet she’ll join in after she returns from holiday in South Africa.
Yogi voiced an interest in the meme idea but then didn’t leave a number so I’ve chosen for him #340 as the number of characters in his comment. He knows forests very well as his Dad was a Forest Ranger so maybe he’s seen the likes of this Columbine I saw in the Kaibab National Forest, Arizona.
Bibi chose #1978, “when my son was born.” Well it was March 2010 when I felt reborn by the morning light shining on the Drakensberg Mountains where I’d slept like a baby after an 8.5 mile hike.
Diane chose #9992 which takes us to Augrabies Falls National Park, South Africa where the rock formations are every bit as interesting as the waterfalls.
Sherry chose #6215 and as a National Park lover I think she should add Table Mountain National Park to her South Africa list so she can see the Jackass Penguins.
Elaine chose #8802 from a photo number of Sandhill Cranes she recently took, probably at Creamer’s Dairy which is a part of the history in her part of Alaska. These blacksmith’s tools are part of the history of the Kgalagadi from a time before it was a Transfrontier Park straddling the border of South Africa and Botswana.
Jonker chose #9993 as the last available number in last week’s choices. That takes us to the last National Park I visited in South Africa this year, Augrabies Falls, where the Orange River drops 183 feet then continues it’s journey along the border of South Africa and Namibia to the Atlantic Ocean.
My choice this week for #8177 because it’s one of my favorite shots of an elephant which is my favorite South African animal taken at Addo Elephant National Park. It’s not easy to see an elephants eye.
I hope you’ll join in with your own #8177 photo and story by adding your link below. And if not, leave a number between 01 and 9991 in a comment for next week’s Foto Friday Fun.
