While traveling to the Oregon coast on Saturday, we stopped at a little rest area along the way that offers very peaceful forest views, as well as the other 'stuff' rest areas are good for.
The lens I used here is my favorite for just about everything. It was repaired in January, and shortly after these shots decided that it needed to go visit the repair shop again. Luckily it's still under warranty this time. Leaving it at the camera shop wasn't quite as traumatic as before, but that empty spot in my camera bag is still a big one.

The image shows a rest area in the Waimea Valley botanical garden on the north shore of Oahu, Hawaii.
The valley is a historic and culturally significant site run by a Hawaiian non-profit organization.
It features over 5,000 types of botanicals spread across extensive gardens.
A paved path leads visitors through the gardens to a 45-foot waterfall where swimming is permitted.
The area is family-friendly and includes restored traditional Hawaiian structures and exhibits on native practices.
The plaque on the bench reads:

We took an all-day photography tour with Oahu Photography Tour. It was a lot of fun. I recommend it highly.
Our second stop was at Waimea Valley Botanical Garden.

Waimea Valley is an area of historic cultural significance on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii. The valley, being an important place in Hawaiian religion, includes several historical structures including stone terraces and walls constructed during the time of the Hawaiian monarchy. The nutrient-rich volcanic soil combined with a rainy environment provided the resourceful Hawaiians of the area the opportunity to create one of the most prosperous farming communities in all of Polynesia. The area had complex fish ponds, domesticated animal pens, various large farming beds, and was famous for the cultivation of pink taro root stock, a coveted item to the Ali`i (the Hawaiian elite).[1][2] Much of the garden floor was once cultivated for taro, sweet potato, and bananas, with new crops and orchards introduced by Europeans after their arrival.
Formerly known as the Waimea Valley Audubon Center and the Waimea Arboretum and Botanical Garden, the Waimea Valley is a historical nature park including botanical gardens. It is located at 59-864 Kamehameha Highway, Haleiwa, Oahu, Hawaii and is open daily except for Christmas and New Year's Day; an admission fee is charged.

An old telephone booth missing the handset still sits by the curb at a rest stop along Interstate 40.
Situated on a point very close to to the ocean. A rest area along southern California's Interstate 5.
This overnight rest area is beautiful stop in the Kimberley's overlooking a great escarpment. Having stopped here many times, this was my first opportunity to capture a sunset.
Taken at a rest area on US 127 in lower Michigan.
When I came out of the facilities at this rest area, I saw this beautiful old VW minivan camper sitting there with the engine compartment open. Having had considerable experience with VW's, I immediately thought it must have overheated and possibly fried the engine. Fortunately that was not the case. The owner was simply taking precautions by letting it cool down a bit before continuing the family's trip South to Columbus, Ohio. I wish I could have found out more about it and how it came to still be in great condition and not all rusted out like most did, but we both had a long trip ahead of us in order to get home.
I once had a rusty and beat up old minivan myself back in the late 60's or early 70's that I picked up for $50 and then swapped a Porsche engine into. While we had some fun experiences with it, I didn't keep it very long and put the engine back into the Porsche before selling it.

This one falls under the category of " I shoot everything". This is a railroad trestle close to a rest stop on I-40 near Oak Ridge, TN. I have sworn that someday I would get a decent shot of this location. You have to be traveling east on I -40 to access the rest area. As luck would have it, today it was pouring rain. I shot this while flying down the interstate at 80mph, in a driving rain storm, and turned around backwards in my seat.
I though it turned out kinda interesting with it's orange/blurry, not quite in focus look. As someone once told me, " You can only shoot what's in front of you, and you may never see it again".
The path continues just around the corner to the big pond area.
This one on the left is part of a wet meadow.
Lots of Sumac bushes here also.
Salt River Canyon rest area along U.S. Route 60... halfway between Globe and Show Low, Arizona.
Info: The river and rest area are within the territorial lands of the San Carlos Apache and the White Mountain Apache peoples. The Salt River flows west and goes into the Gila river in southwest Phoenix.
Liberty Garden is at the northbound rest area along I-95 at Santee, South Carolina.
The garden was dedicated by the South Carolina Department of Transportation as a memorial to the September 11 terrorist attacks.
This well maintained Land Cruiser was parked at a rest area along the highway where we had a short break.
The Toyota Land Cruiser J60 series was produced along side the J40 series for four years, when it finally replaced this series. The J60 offered more comfort than the J40.
The Land Cruiser series is very reliable, and can be used in all kinds of rough conditions.

Spotted Wolf, a passage between towering red cliffs of the San Rapheal Swell. This is I-70, in Utah winding upward from the high plains of Eastern Utah.
At a short stop at a roadside rest area, near Delegate, I was greeted by the unmistakable call of a Rufous Whistler.

After leaving Vallejo, California one evening last November to begin a three-day marathon cross country trip to Illinois, my son and I pulled over at a rest stop around 4:00 a.m. the next morning and tried to sleep in our cars. We had been driving in the dark and had no idea what the scenery around us looked like.
I found that trying to sleep in a bucket seats that doesn't recline to be difficult. After sleeping only an hour, I woke up and realized that the sun was beginning to rise. There was an awesome cloud layer overhead and we were surrounded by some incredible desert and mountain landscape. I pulled out the tripod and camera and spent the next hour taking shots before we headed out on the highway again. Because of the time pressure we were under, this turned out to be the only time on our 2300 mile trip that I took time to take pictures.
Sadly, I'm not sure where this was taken. I asked a custodian where we were at and he simply said, "Fenner." I can't find it on the map. The rest stop was on Interstate 40 somewhere near the border of Arizona and New Mexico, but whether it was in one state or the other I do not know.
