Yes, those big birds are cranes. Sandhill Cranes, to be precise, and the white birds in the third picture are Snow Geese. I wonder if Google can tell you where's the best place to see Sandhill Cranes...

STEAMING, no less! That'll get your juices flowing, especially in Grizzly territory! As most of y'all are aware, Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta literally borders Glacier National Park in...
If we're doing waterfalls, I have a good one:
Take a good look at this crazy thing, and see if you can figure out what the heck it's doing!

Well, there's no G in Snake, and Idaho is pretty darned close to Montana, so I'd say probably not. I'm gonna take a wild guess here, and assume these are closer to home for our friend glc. I'll just...
Well, since Utahtea already let the 'Cat' out of the bag, allow me to introduce the Catwalk National Recreation Trail. This is one of those places that comes along every now and again, usually right...
I didn't quite Ketch that. I--wait--Kan you repeat the question? Is this in Alaska? And is that a Creek below that Street? And isn't that (oh, what the heck) Potlatch Park?
What a shame that your...
Here's a place that's a little different. A pretty little canyon, with interesting rock formations:

If you look closely,...
The Grand Canyon rafting trip happened a few years before I figured out how to get down to Diamond Creek. The rafting trip was fabulous; eight days on the river with a group of 25 people, using a...
Driving down the road (which is obviously descending), there's a predominate peak that grows larger and larger util it completely fills your field of vision. The peak has a name reminiscent of it's...
It looks seriously awesome. I slept in a tent in a campground the last time I was in Banff, but we most definitely admired the Fairmount Banff Springs Hotel when we drove past it. Now that I'm aware...
Okay, so let's sum up what we know about this place. It's not a hike. It's a place you can drive to, even in fairly large trucks. There's a parking area with sheltered picnic tables at the end of the...
Can't win 'em all! That was a terrific little photo quiz, and in the course of ciphering those out, I really had my eyes opened. So much of the best of Yellowstone is "off the beaten path," you...
The first two shots are of the road:

Well, are you guys gonna share the location of your cool/hot springs waterfall, or do the rest of us have to keep guessing? ;-)

Okay, time to close this out (bearing in mind these are merely my best guesses):
#1: Spasmodic Geyser (I love the name!)
#6: Anemone Geyser (or possibly Little Anemone?)

Full disclosure: I too love Yellowstone, but I've only been there once, and it was for two days, rather than two weeks, and that was at the tail end of a two-month road trip to Alaska and back, when...
Good job! I figured somebody would probably recognize these; they're really close to Albuquerque, and so easy to get to. All three of these Spanish missions were built around the same time, in the...
Here, for your inspection, are six photographs, representing three seperate structures, in three seperate locations.

I'll take a stab at it. The first picture looks like somewhere in the Midwest, maybe Missouri? The sign in the front is hard to make out, but if I blow it up in my browser I think I see "Walt" on...
Donna:
When I click on the picture, I go right to your whole Flickr account (all 31 pages). I think UtahTea is on the right track--there must be a way to distinguish public from private pictures....
It has to be somewhere on Route 66, in one of the towns that's trying to draw tourists with kitschy old cars and whatnot. Seligman, Arizona comes to mind; they have plenty of vehicles with eyeballs...
I had one more clue all ready to go:

But you guys didn't need it! Cahokia Mounds is the correct answer, I-70 is the correct...
I'm cruising down a major Interstate Highway, on the outskirts of a major U.S. City, when I see something unusual out of the corner of my eye. I take the next conveniently placed exit, and I get out...
Good job once again, glc! That's a Yes to Great Falls, a Yes to the Potomac River, a Yes to Washington D.C., a Yes to the C&O (Chesapeake and Ohio) Canal, and an extra big YES to the Great Falls...
Yes, it's a canal boat (barges are for cargo; this old thing was for passengers).
And yes, that's quite true. Nothing in that area fits the other clues. Surely there must be some other canal...
