We've got a weekend of sun and warmer temperatures, and that means folks are out busy spiffing up their yards. This is a view of Schaffer Butte. Just over the top is our ski resort, Bogus Basin. There's an old saying around here that you don't put the garden in until the snow has melted from the Butte. The Butte is at about 7,500 feet elevation and got a big pile of new snow during the past week. Boise is about 3,000 feet.

pretty shot, it looks like its just around the corner.
ReplyDeleteThe top of the butte almost looks like a space station on Mars. What are those structures up there?
ReplyDeleteI like the blue skies...! Out here in Iowa we are having a bit of a snowstorm today. Nice thing about April snow is that it does not last too long...!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo! Clear blue skies! I'm finished spring skiing. I hope it all melts fast.
ReplyDeleteHi brattcat. Those structures are antennas for television, radio, and other transmissions.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting photo. So do you have to dig everything up and start over when the snow melts?
ReplyDeleteNah...
