As I headed east through the area known as “Yellowstone Picnic” into Little America I came across a small crowd at a pullout with spotting scopes set up and cameras with long lenses pointed towards a spot far off the road to the north. I pulled over and looked through my binoculars. What should I see but a man with a fox dancing around his feet. My first through was, “What kind of idiot is that, going way out there and feeding a fox?!?!” Someone pulled up next to me and explained that the he was out there as part of a golden eagle research team. I still wasn’t able to put it together, but then he began skiing back to the road. As he neared it became clear that he had something large under his arm.
It turns out that there was a deer carcass (a winter kill – it’s not unusual for animals to drop dead from exposure and starvation in Yellowstone’s mean winters – or a wolf, mountain lion, or even coyote kill if the deer was sufficiently weak) attracting all the usual visitors. Golden (and bald) eagles are opportunistic carrion-eaters, so the researchers knew a goldie would show up sooner or later. The fox was just trying to defend its wonderful meal from that human who might be trying to steal it! Photo taken at an extreme distance in relation to my lens’s capabilities, but you can make out the fox and the net trap as well as the researcher. I believe the dark brown blob on the ground is the eagle.
My friends had seen two men skiing into that area before sunup (and had also concluded the men must be mad to be skiing in the cold, dark, pre-dawn). Apparently it was the two researchers going out to lay a bow-type net trap and finally, by 9 A.M., acquired their target when it came to feed.
The researcher brought the hooded eagle (a technique falconers have used for millennia that functions to keep the birds calm), with its dagger talons safely immobilized in an Ace bandage, and wrapped in a towel for warmth, back to the roadside. His colleague and project leader, Dave Haines, gave the small gathering a few minutes to photograph the bird before he and his colleague took it to a ranger station for banding, tagging, weighing and measuring, and overall examination and evaluation. It would be released when data collection was complete.

Konica Hexar AF 35mm F2.0 Hexar Lens in Silver. The ultimate “low available light" camera with 1/250 top shutter speed and a high resolution power Hexar lens. Equip with a built-in (pullout) lens hood and a Silver lens cap. Pictures from this lens is so sharp and well resolved, its just amazing, not to mention the almost silent "stealth mode" operation. I really love this one.

The Apache Trail from Apache Junction thru the Tonto Nat. Forest leads to the Theodore Roosevelt Lake. This Bridge and reflection was just too much to pass up, so we took the pullout and all made several images.

This pretty little lake, with its overview from a pullout on the main road in Yellowstone, is surrounded by volcanic springs and small geysers that provide it with water. The pale blue round feature in the foreground is Roadside Spring West. This area is part of the Norris Basin complex.
trying to pullout the color of this seagull in ps didn't turnout to be very appealing. I decided to play with black and white, added vignetting and played with the contrast made some yellowish ring around the vignetting.
One 18" IKEA cabinet, containing an ironing board, two kinds of baking sheet holders, a basket drawer, and another pull-out. It took a hacksaw and a Dremel to make it all fit (the pull-out, which was $5 in the As Is department, has been customized to fit this arrangement), but it's all there and works nicely!
Bungalow kitchens were all about interesting built-in storage solutions, so although this is modern, it's very much in keeping with traditional bungalow functionality.
This is the only base cabinet in our kitchen that is a traditional cabinet -- that is, not a set of drawers. (Well, except for the sink cab.) Drawers everywhere else, yay! But I really didn't want stuff to end up piled in the back of the cab like in my old kitchen (where the cookie sheets and baking pans were haphazardly piled and usually required me to remove half of them to find the one I was looking for), so hopefully this design will prevent much of that. Also, built-in fixtures are neat.
Taken from the pullout off of Highway 49 along Don Pedro. The fire, growing from 16 to 50+ thousand acres, was generating its own cloud system.

Right along Hwy 91 north of Leadville, is a pullout with this majestic scene. The first significant snowfall of the new season on the previous day made it all the more special. Enjoy more at Internet Brothers Hiking Logs and Gallery.

On the North Cascade Highway alongside the road. Had a nice little pullout where you could park safely and not have to walk to get to it!
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.
I took these photos in mid-September 2021.

Photographed from a vehicle in a pullout. Always maintain safe distances when photographing wildlife. 100 yards from bears and wolves and 25 yards from all other wildlife.
As part of the B.C. government’s focus on highway safety, a new Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE) pullout officially opened on Highway 5A to further improve safety for all motorists (July 14, 2014).
Located approximately 12 kilometres south of Kamloops, the southbound pullout provides a hub for enforcement and inspections.
With the 2014 American pullout looming, the Afghan military is graduating new recruits almost daily. They go through nine weeks of basic military training before being deployed to various units.
While I liked this view of the Chihuahuan Desert (seen from a pullout on the Ross Maxwell Scenic Drive in Big Bend National Park) I stopped here because it was the first time on this visit I could get a good look at one of my favorite formations... Mule Ear Peaks. I don't think they need any further identification because they are so distinct and aptly named.
Knowing I'd be able to get much closer in just a few moments, here I backed off and got the widest view possible of the Chihuahuan, including both a flowering ocotillo and prickly pear. What's missing, however, is the signature plant of this desert... the lechuguilla. Seems odd because when I stopped just a couple of miles from here, I practically had to dodge them; they were everywhere.
It doesn't look it from this distance, but the Ears rise about 1000' from the desert's floor.

These clients had an awesome idea in mind & we worked with them and discussed dimensions and styles to create a perfect piece to sit in between two posts in their large finished basement.
Overall dimensions are 72"L x 37 1/2"D x 36"H
The custom Hickory Butcher block top is 1 3/4" Thick that sits on a custom designed island which features 3 equally sized drawers at the top. Below are 2 garbage pull outs on the outer doors and 2 drawers in the center.
This cabinet measures 48"L x 24"D x 34 1/4"H
On the reverse side are 3 bead board panels (shown in the next picture)

Picnic tables at a pullout favored by fishermen in the summer are just snow mounds now
I found more of these this spring than normal along the side of the road. I just found a pullout as close as I could and enjoyed the beauty!

At the pullout before heading off to Fairview Dome. It was very cold and very early.

Lynne Williams - Anti monarchy and Republican group. says
The notion that the Royals add to Britains wealth is a carefully orchestrated myth. They are actually a net loss to the economy of about £340 million. The claim that royalty in itself increases tourism is also incorrect.
In reality, the vast majority of people don’t even bother with visiting Buckingham Palace – apart from the obligatory photo opportunity with the guards outside: they focus on Westminster, the Tower and the West End.
The Queen is head of that tiny group of wealthy individuals: the aristocracy - 0.6 per cent of the population, who own over 60 percent of rural land in Britain.
The Queen is the largest land-owner in the world: she and her family own 1 billion square metres of private land and 3, 84 billion square metres of Royal land, as well as over 660 million square metres of the Lancaster estate. All the above produce an annual income of around £80 million per year.
Prince Charles is the owner of 1.5 billion square metres in Britain and receives over £20 million annually.
Overall the Royal family has a fortune of £8 billion and has under its administration other assets over £12 billion
The multi-million pound surplus revenue from the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster is paid each year to the Queen and Prince Charles: around £20 million flows from the Duchy into Charles’s pockets.
The Duchy invests little back into local communities, while demanding bedroom taxes, taxes on using the airport and ferry and huge increases to land rents.
It continues to limit tenants’ rights, demand more money from residents and local communities and resist serious scrutiny. There have been stories of harassment and threats by the Duchy, leaving local residents fearful of speaking out.
The Duchy isn’t some quaint left-over from feudal times. It is a hard headed and ruthless business run for the profit of Prince Charles.
It is only in recent years that the Queen finally reluctantly agreed to pay tax - something which she had fought tooth and nail against for decades.
The Royal Household has tried to claim that the monarchy is good value for money: that the monarchy contributes to the wealth of the country through tourism and trade.
The reality is that the cost to the taxpayer runs into the hundreds of millions every year, while the tourism and trade revenue is a figment of the spin doctor’s imagination.
Meanwhile, whilst royal income is increasing exponentially, the UK is now more Dickensian than it has ever been since WWII.
People are driven more and more into abject poverty. 137,000 people were recorded as having avoidably died during the winter of 2014 from lack of food and/or heating (and these are government statistics, so likely to actually be quite conservative), hence the ghastly new expression in the lexicon: 'Heat or eat.' 250,000 people in England are homeless. Britain is now one of the most unequal societies in the developed world.
