Not to drift, but this jogged a memory cell. Dad had a fondness for this much maligned little plant. Besides finding them attractive and tasty, he considered them a masterpiece of reproductive species preservation.
Good shot:
Makes good wine - IF you get them early enough!

Here's a few from our trip to Alaska in 2007. We drove there from Michigan, pulling a 38 foot 5th wheel. It was an amazing trip!
At one of the campgrounds in Canada, I interrupted this Robin's bath. He/she does not look happy about it:
This is how you get around in Valdez during the winter months:
Coming out of the Canadian Rockies on the way to Fort Nelson in British Columbia, we encountered a small heard of buffalo:
Although well known, Mt. Denali is not often seen as it is often obscured by clouds. We lucked out on our way to Houston (Yes, there is a Houston in Alaska!):
This is a pine tree truck that has had it's bark removed. The high acidic content in the soil causes these burls to form on many of the trees. This particular one is at a store outside of Denali National Park:

This one of my favorite photos - and after all, this is a gun forum! Pictured is a S&W Model 1, 2nd issue, dating from August, 1866 according to Roy Jinks. It's pictured on the legendary "Dead man's hand" of aces and eights that Wild Bill Hickock was reportedly holding when he was shot from behind, killed by Jack McCall on August 2, 1876. It had always been Hickock's policy never to sit with his back to the door. He varied from this policy when another man at the table already occupied the favored chair. Since I learned of this from my father as a boy, my policy has always been not to sit with my back to the door in restaurants. Far be it from me not to learn from history!

OK then, enough of the 49th state and on to the 50th. The wife an I took a cruise to the Hawaiian Islands. This was the Harbor Master escorting the cruise ship out of LA harbor:
The first full day out of port, we encountered 5 to 6 foot waves. This in turn created mini a tsunami in the on deck pool:
One of the gun turrets on the USS Arizona:
The list of sailors and marines who lost their lives that infamous day:
On board the USS Missouri where the war with Japan came to an end:
Forget about your 2X and 3X shirts, this one is a 28X!
No, he's not dead, just working on his tan:
In Mexico (a stop on the way back to the mainland), they don't throw away anything, including old washing machines:

Here's one of our many guests.
That's excellent! I've tried for years to photograph butterflies. No luck so far.
