I think we are going to make Gallup Park a regular place to visit over the weekend. Just one of the best parks with all sorts of birds and wildlife along the Huron River. Taken at Gallup Park along the Huron River in Ann Arbor on Saturday May 13th, 2023 in the morning.

Nigh photos in Gallup New Mexico after a snowy day that left businesses and schools closed for the day.
from the window seat on the way from Albuquerque to Las Vegas.
Spring Break gets underway for reals!
Notes in the photo identify stuff.
(that hogback (uplifted spine of rock) is barely noticeable driving through but it really stands out from the air)
(through a dirty airplane window so some clarification was necessary)
Shooting a westbound around Gallup isn't a challenge in the winter sun as the tracks are laid to get good wide angle shots first thing in the morning and basically all day you can shoot westbounds in decent light. Here on the BNSF Gallup Sub, Z CLOPHX8 05 from Clovis Yard, NM is heading westbound for Phoenix with its short train of basically all UPS/JB Hunt/Roadway traffic (26 loads-1 empty). This hot Z train was cooling its heels due to single tracking up the road a bit and waiting on eastbound to clear them before proceeding west. BNSF C44-9W 965 leads BNSF C44-9W 5486 on this day.
The Hotel El Rancho served Route 66 travelers. As western movies become popular, the landscape around Gallup became prime filming locations. The hotel served movie industry support personnel and actors. Rooms where an actors stayed were often named after them. Thus the motto, "Home of The Movie Stars."
