Road Construction Season

What road construction project is most annoying to you right now?

Bicycle Built for Three?

Looks like family fun.

Summer

Warmer temps are finally here.

A Thingy

A vintage "thing" behind the Discovery Center of Idaho. A type of drill press?

Alley Decay

I think these used to be apartments.

Get Yer Gold Weighed Here

The Assay Office was built in 1871 during Idaho's gold digging days. It's now home to the State Historic Preservation Office.

Tiny Ballerinas

Waiting for their turn on the stage during a recital at a local nursing home.

Muscle by the Shed

Someone's "someday project?"

Eclipse Through Homemade Filters

I don't have a solar filter for my camera, so I used several sheets of x-ray film as a "filter." This was taken at 6:40 p.m.

We didn't see the "ring of fire" eclipse in Boise - although the crescent became small. This photo was taken at 7:26 p.m.

Alley Art

Downtown Meridian.

Spring Foothills

Green grasses tinge the hillsides this time of year.

Happy Hour Starts When You Walk in the Door

Some people call it a dive bar, others say it's a neighborhood bar. I can't believe after all these years in Boise, I've never stepped inside Jim Alibi on Broadway Avenue. But one of its claims to fame is that "happy hour starts the moment you walk in the door."

Bumblebee

And it was T H I S B I G!

Yep, This is in Town

Love it that Boise still has so many pockets that feel rural.

Garden Shopping

What are your favorite garden flowers?

Pool Season

A sure sign that there's been a change in the weather.

Model Solar System

Found this on a post near the Discovery Center. I didn't have time to explore more. I assume there really is a model sun set up somewhere.

Rawr

Fierce firetruck logo - Meridian Fire Department.

Chick Season

Cuties in just about every pond. Found these in Julia Davis Park last night.

Flea Market

A sandwich board nearby said "Buy Mom a Rolex." There is still time to shop for Mother's Day :)

Boise Music Week - International Dance Show

The Hispanic Folkloric Dancers of Idaho - one of eight groups on stage last night for the International Dance Night of Boise Music Week. Free music and entertainment all week in Boise. Love this town.

The Grove

As soon as it warms up, this will become a popular spot for the kiddos.

Capitol View from a Parking Garage

Notice that although it's spring in the valley, there's still a bit of snow in view.

Black Cliffs

The Black Cliffs along the Boise River. Several sections are available for climbing.

New Health Drink?

Hmm. Hemp "energy" drink?

Avocets

Two avocets at the Western Idaho Fairgrounds. I think they're cute.

A peek at the part of the area referred to as "Old Boise."
