A first for me! Last pullout just south of the Piedras Blancas Lighhouse, San Simeon, California.
Avibase has it listed as Tringa incanus, and Cornell as Tringa incana, so I have both in the tags.
Lots of Fiddleneck along Hwy 46. I wish there were more side roads in this area. Tons of flowers right now. Carpets of orange, yellow, and purple in many locations. Unfortunately the pullouts weren't in the best locations for the flowers.

I was waiting for the lenticular clouds to grow- instead they disappeared . For a while the stacked platters were clearly visible, by the time I found a pullout along the road they were gone.

This was an awesome day. We left Egilsstadir early for the drive to Myvatn. We passed a number of waterfalls (with no pullouts or names) until we came to Rjukandafoss - a beautiful waterfall with several sections. When hiked as the trail and had some great views. Nice start to the day. Back on the road to cover what is known as the Big Sky Country of Iceland - pretty much a lot of nothing. We were headed for Dettifoss - a major waterfall on my Bucket List. It exceeded expectations. Absolutely stunning visually and auditory - it is massive. I tried some long exposure with a tripod but it felt like the ground was shaking. Heather let me check out another waterfall about a mile away - Selfoss. If Dettifoss wasn't around, this would be a major destination by itself. Very different than Dettifoss but awesome on its own. I stayed for a bit and just ogled everything. Simply wow. I returned to the car and Heather dragged me off to another trail with very cool canyon views. We heard there was a third waterfall very close by so naturally we went. It was amazing. There were about 2-3 other people at Hafragilsfoss. Good God Almighty - this waterfall was spectacular - and the guidebook said this was difficult to reach with a 4x4 and best skipped. I'm glad we ignored this (the road was actually a piece of cake). Side note - the area around here looked like Martian landscape. We were in Heaven! We reluctantly headed to Myvatn - the Icelandic equivalent of Yellowstone. It was nice but we must be jaded since we live so close to Yellowstone. All in all, a very nice day, and I definitely want to go back to Dettifoss and the other falls.

When we first saw the badger it was exploring right next to the road. We found a pullout farther down and watched as she continued to explore the ridge line near the road and then casually meandered to a nearby hillside.

When I set out for Yellowstone this morning the sky was cloudy and sometimes spitting rain, but as the day progressed the weather - and views - greatly improved.
I went a few miles up East Entrance Road to look for grizzlies that frequent the area, but all I saw was these magnificent views looking eastward through the remains of a once badly burned forest with excellent regrowth beneath the skeletal snags. Note the lupines blooming amidst the dandelions too.
The mountains are part of the Absaroka Range.

It was sent by my grandfather to his sister, Adele on 13th, August, 1907, from Brassó. She got it in Budapest on 14th, August.
They were born and lived in Brassó until 1905, when they moved to Budapest. My grandfather probably visited his grandmother and aunts in Brassó, he took the Budapest-Brassó trip frequently.

Reef & Chloe: *look up from Z’s letter, faces full of awe*
Reef: “Dude, you’re a total badass!”
Chloe: *nods* “A totally hot badass!”
Reef: *frowns* “Ease up, Chlo. Let’s not get too carried away here.”
Chloe: *grins*
Suki: *releases Satoru, face full of adoration* “You can stay with us while you’re here. We have a guest room and everything!”
Reef: “Uh, no, we don’t.”
Suki: “Yes, we do. You can sleep on the pullout couch, and Ru can have your room.”
Reef: *rolls eyes* “Yeah, I should’ve seen that one coming. My feet hang off the couch. Why can’t he sleep in your room and you can bunk with Chlo?”
Chloe: “Are you trying to kill him? No one survives Suks’ room but her. It eats interlopers. Remember Jake from last summer?”
Reef (somberly): “May he rest in peace.”
Suki: “Haha. Jake’s fine! I told you he left for the mainland after…*cautious glance at Satoru* we finished our relations.”
Satoru (grimly): “For peace of mind’s sake, I am going to pretend I don’t understand what ‘relations’ means in this context.”
Reef: “Good call.”
Chloe: “He could sleep in my room, and I’ll take the couch.”
Satoru: “I’m afraid that’s out of the question, Chloe. I’ll find a hotel; it’s no trouble.”
Suki (forlornly): “Oh, but I haven’t seen you in so long. I thought if you stayed here we could spend more time together and stuff. Plus, I want you to meet Jon. You’ll like him, Ru. He reminds me of you—the real you, not the one you pretend to be for Grandfather.”
Reef: *notes Suki’s heartbroken expression, heaves a sigh* “You can have my room, dude. I’ll take the couch. Or there’s a hammock out back that’s pretty comfy. Either one suits.”
Chloe: “You can sleep with me, if you promise to keep your boy bits to yourself.”
Reef (gleefully): “First off, I object to the term ‘bits’, ‘cuz there ain’t nothin’ bitty ‘bout them. Second, hell yeah! Delighted to have you, Ru. Stay as long as you want. Don’t ever want my room back.”
Chloe: *bursts out laughing* “Subtle.”
Reef: “To quote Suk, subtle’s for suckas.”
Suki (happily): “Great! It’s settled, then! I’ll make dinner, and we can discuss how I’m going back to Japan with you and help kick some decrepit Grandfather ass!”
Satoru (sternly): “Over my dead body. I did not come here to enlist your help. I came here to spend time with my sister and enjoy a short respite from my hectic, very complicated life.”
Suki: “But—”

Yellowstone winter-lovers were amazed last year (winter of 2021-2022) when a mother black bear and her two cubs were seen denning in this hole which is clearly visible from a pullout along the main road...if you know where to look. Between the vantage of the pullout and the den entrance is a deep gorge into which no sane human would venture, so the bears were safe and undisturbed.
One thing we all learned was bears do not sleep deeply (hibernate) in winter; they go into a state of very low energy expenditure - given that spent energy can't be replaced when food is scarce in winter - called torpor. Every time I drove past the spot I stopped to look, and finally I was lucky enough to see and photograph one of the cubs playing outside the den, in January!
The cubs grew up and left their mother's side in the summer of 2022, and the mother bear did not return to spend this winter in her lovely hole on a south-facing slope. But the fall of 2022 gave yet another surprise: there is a different, solo black bear using the den this winter! So once again I stop every time I pass, but have yet to see the bear.
On this trip, though, I did see prints that look like a coyote passed the den since the last snowfall. There are also a few bigger indents near the den door, it's possible they belong to this year's denizen.
I trust the lone bear, possibly a male, or a pregnant female who would be bearing her cubs right about now, feels cozy and safe in that perfect space.

I used the little circle botanical design stamp from "Clear Design Mix & Match Elements" set to create the pink background for the "pocket." I used pop dots as the lifted space for the pocket where the pull-out card will go.
When the surf is big, you find people flying out of the wave to keep from being caught inside.
For the photographer, it means watch your head !
This busted road-groomer/snow plow was parked in a pullout in Swan Lake Flats, Yellowstone National Park. That was the area between Indian Creek and Mammoth Hot Springs that was closed due to wildly blowing snow and almost total absence of visibility during the blizzard of February 17, 2018. That closure forced our snow coach to turn around and make its way 53 miles back to West Yellowstone where we spent an unplanned night. By the middle of the following day the blizzard was gone and the road had been groomed for safe over-snow travel.
Observe posted speed limits and use pullouts to watch wildlife, take pictures, and let other cars pass. Help ensure everyone’s safety by not stopping your vehicle in the road. When pulling over, be sure to park with all four tires fully to the right of the white line.

First off, I have to say that I'm not really happy with this comp, because the bridge is sticking out of the dark hill on the left, and I couldn't seem to crop out the road pullout on the right during the short time the sky was lit. The bridge is (unintentionally) understated in this photo. The sunrise colors saved the poor comp, but I'm planning on making more visits to this area after the upcoming storm is over.
I've seen many amazing photographs of the Golden Gate Bridge on Flickr. I realized that I had never stopped to take in the view, even though I currently live 1.5 hrs from it, and have driven over the bridge many times. So, I put few photo locations on my list, and checked them out.
I woke at 4:15am, and arrived at the Marin Headlands in the dark. I used Google Earth™ to get an idea of what roads to take and the general geography of the area, but I met up with a closed gate on my way to my destination -something that is all but invisible from the satellite photos. I decided to backtrack, park, and climb a hill. I ended up spending the whole sunrise on this one hill, simply because I didn't know how quickly I could get to another location -and I didn't want to miss the sunrise.
As it turned out, I ended up hiking down the hill, in a not-so-great spot right when the clouds were illuminated with color. It only lasted a couple of minutes, and I knew I had to start firing away.
Any tips on locations for this area will be greatly appreciated! I was really impressed with all the access points. I have a LOT of room to improve, so any comments are welcomed.
