Caught this Least Chipmunk preparing for winter near the pullout at Firehole Falls.
Yellowstone National Park.
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.

Cpl. James Hernandez, a combat engineer with Alpha Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, and a native of Goodyear, Ariz., uses an electric saw to dismantle a HESCO barrier at Firebase Saenz, Helmand province, Dec. 13. FB Saenz is the first of several patrol bases being demilitarized by the Marines of 9th ESB throughout the month of December.
These warblers now nest in habitat that was earlier occupied by the Golden-wingeds. Seen at Port Hurson SGA. 136 Pullout.
On my way down from Paradise in Mount Rainier National Park in January, I spotted this Cascade Red Fox along the side of the road in the snow and pulled off in the adjacent pullout to snap her picture, and then to chase her away. Red foxes like this one have become a bit of a pest in the park, begging for food and walking out into the roadway to stop cars, leading to several near-misses and near-accidents as people swerve to avoid them, and several fox fatalities over recent years. And of course encountering a tame fox begging for food is a very different experience than seeing one acting natural in its wilderness habitat. The latter is the experience we seek to preserve in a national park. Because of this, the most notious offenders like this one have been GPS-collared to track their movements and to help resource managers get a handle on how to resolve the problem.
Still, you can't deny what a thrill it is to see a Cascade red fox alongside the road under any circumstances, and how beautiful it is, in full winter fur, standing in the fresh snow.

Citigroup started out in 1812 as the City Bank of New York. It's one of the oldest banks in the U.S. For a few decades in the 20th century, Citigroup was the largest bank in the world.
On the 200th anniversary of Citi in 2012, there isn't much to celebrate though, the bank and the U.S. remain much weakened and face an uncetain future.
I published a page on the history of Citigroup:

The breakfast counter and custom cherry stools were designed to match the dining room chairs. The kitchen also has a cookbook shelf, display shelves and under cabinet lighting.
This was a pullout where we stopped along the San Juan Skyway to have coffee and a snack. It was only a gravel place to park, no amenities, but the view more than made up for that!
False Parting of the Ways

Yes, we will still have to do some painting and I am thinking about how nice this one will be, when camping, with the pullout cover or awning! (did I mention it is thundering here now!)
And, it is airconditioned!!!

With his dark, tan features and fun-loving disposition, this vendor had the "face of Italy." I met him on a narrow pullout along the winding Amalfi Coast road between Positano and Praiano, where he was selling vegetables, fruits and souvenirs from a cart. He agreed to let me photograph him and unleashed this warm smile. It's one of my favorite "people" portraits from my around-the-world journey.
The pull-out maps were printed on parchment paper and were hand- drawn to illustrate where the different events were being held. 3 different maps were created depending on which guests were invited where. They were scored, folded and inserted into black jackets which were then adhered to the pages.
Lonely outhouse at the Gallatin Falls pullout. Otherwise know as a Class B bathroom. Class A, flush toilets and hot water. Class C, you get the idea.
Whenever I go to Las Vegas I almost always go to Valley of Fire State Park - it's about an hour NE of the LV Strip but so far removed from all the madness. It is an incredible park - there is almost too much to see and do in one day. This was Heather's first trip and I think she really liked it - I gave her one of my cameras to use (since I left her memory card back at the hotel) so some of these shots might be hers. I can't wait to go back here again!
