Climbing the Walls

Rock climbing at the YMCA. This is a popular sport in Boise. There are several rock climbing wall businesses around town. Yesterday was my daughter's first try. Today is officially the 2nd year anniversary of Boise Daily Photo.

Boise Front at Sunset

I was hoping to catch some alpenglow last night, but it didn't happen. The valley was awash with golden sunset rays, though.

Sky Bridge Over Overland

An elevated sidewalk to get kids across this big road safely on their way to school.

Spring Weeding with Fire

One way to get rid of pesky weeds - light 'em on fire.

Public Safety Building and a St. Paddy's Tongue-Twister

This is where we go to get driver's licenses, vehicle licenses, access criminal records and there's an access to the Ada County Jail here, too. It's officially called the Vernon L. Bisterfeldt Public Safety Building. Vern was a long-time police officer, served as an Ada County Commissioner, and is currently a member of the Boise City Council. Vern always called me Debbie Cebbie when I used to interact with him as a member of the media, and later as a Western Idaho Fair board member. The only person on the planet to ever call me that :) Happy St. Patrick's Day! My favorite tongue-twister for today is: Irish wristwatch. Go ahead...try to say it.

Little Pink Shed

Such a nicely painted shed in an overgrown, weedy lot. I wonder what lives inside?

A Herd of Bicycles

Training? Racing? Training for a race? I dunno, but the day this team was out, the winds were blowing with gusts of 40 miles per hour. That would make riding tough!

Little Kids Behind the Wheel

An afternoon on the rookie track at Wahooz on Friday. They really do let kiddos races the cars, as long as they are 48 inches tall. Adult-sized cars are available for separate races on this slick track. Lots of spin outs and sliding for the grown-ups.

Eventually a Walgreens?

This used to be used as....a horse barn? It's near an intersection so it likely will eventually be the site of a strip mall.

Wild West Memories

A long-time fixture along Overland Road. This stagecoach mural is at Overland Lumber. Locals say "OVER-lund," so if someone prounounces it "over-LAND," we suspect they're transplants :)
