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:

This mother bear, management #815, aka, "Obsidian" for her territory around Yellowstone National Park's Obsidian Cliff feature, is what's known as a "road bear." Especially female grizzlies will frequent areas of human use (in this case, a road) to better shield their cubs (in this case, a yearling) from predation by male bears, which will often kill cubs, allowing the female to become receptive and be impregnated with his genes. Road bears have to be extremely savvy, however, as crowds gather along the roads to observe them, greatly increasing the opportunity for negative encounters which invariably result in the death of the bear. In the case of mothers with cubs, if the mother dies, young cubs will also die in the absence of her nurturing. So far, 815 has managed to navigate these hazards, but she is fearless around parked and moving cars as well as large crowds of people outside their cars. She led her child down from the hill where they had been napping to the road, but hesitated to cross in the presence of so many people. Soon she realized she could move south of the pullout where most people were concentrated and safely get where she wanted to go. But the people on foot any closer to the bear than I was (I was some distance away, using a long telephoto) were definitely in danger should she have thought any of them was a threat to her or her cub. Very bad situation, and no park ranger to herd people away from her.
One of the horrors of this scene was people creeping up close to her, thinking they were shielded by the parked cars, to photograph her (and the cub with her) with devices like phones and iPads, which have almost no telephoto capacity. It was extremely dangerous situation that ended without incident.
Red Birch cabinets with flat beadboard panels. Marble countertop with an apron-front, under-mount sink. The island features a wine rack end with custom pots/pan pull-outs and 2 bin trash/recycle pull-out . The pantry cabinets has four pull-out shelf units. 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
This Interpretive pullout is at one of the locations where the Emigrant Trail crosses State Highway 28. The site was thought to be the Parting of the Ways, but was later shown to be the intersection of the Point of Rocks to South Pass Stage Route and the Emigrant Trail. This is a fee-free site and is ADA accessible.

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!

This was my first Greater Scaup. Seen on the Columbia River at the 122nd St NE pullout on Marine Drive on Feb 19, 2014.
We were here in the fall, and fell in love with this tiny pullout - room for maybe half a dozen cars, and at the top of a 400 foot cliff with the waves pounding the base. All night long it's music to the ears. We're killing time waiting for the weather to clear, and this is a great spot for foul weather sightseeing. The fog here is hugging the water surface, but it came up and enveloped us by the next morning. We had pancakes and took a walk - Fiona loves to prance along the stone wall, which goes straight down hundreds of feet on the other side. I don't mind parking this close to the edge here because it's all solid igneous rock - that's why this point is resisting erosion better than the surrounding terrain.
At one of the pullouts closer to Echo Lake than the Echo Mountain ski area, there is an X of a tough reflective material staked at the ends. We think it might be a marker for helicopter landing, although I know Flight for Life lands at Echo Mountain. (My brother has seen it land there both for training and to airlift an injured park patron.)
