Arizona Highways Friday Fotos

 I've been honored to have several photos selected lately by Arizona Highways Friday Fotos weekly challenge on their Facebook Page. 

Each week on Wednesday, Arizona Highways gives the theme for that week and the deadline is Thursday by 7:00 p.m. to enter 2 photos with that theme.

August 6th was Arizona National Parks and I had both of my photos selected that day; so surprised! To have a photo selected to be in the top 5 is such an honor and my cattle photo from Pipe Springs National Monument was in 4th place. My photo of Casa Grande Ruins National Monument was also selected.

On August 20th the theme was "taken on the trail" and my photo of the one of the hiking trails in Red Rock State Park was selected.

September 3rd the theme was "wearing white after Labor Day" my photo of a Native American competing in the Buckskin Dance was selected.

On September 17th the them was "tall trees" and the photo I took of Willow Springs Lake on the Rim was chosen.

Arizona Highways Friday Fotos

I was honored this week to have two photos selected in the Arizona Highways Friday Fotos theme National Parks in Arizona. Each week has a different theme that they post on Wednesday morning what the them will be and you have until Thursday at 7:00 to submit two photos. I've been lucky to have several photos selected throughout the year. The Friday Fotos challenge is on Facebook almost every week. They do take a break for holidays. Check it out when you have a chance; there are some amazing photos each week.

Here are the two photos that were selected.

Casa Grande Ruins National Monument in Florence, AZ. I used my fish eye lens to take this photo to give it a unique look.

Cattle resting at Pipe Spring National Monument in Fredonia, AZ. Pipe Spring has provided water to people in the desert for countless generations and cultures - the Ancestral Puebloans, the Kaibab Band of Paiute Indians, Spanish Missionaries, Mexican traders, United States explorers and ethnographers, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the National Park Service.
