Don't Take Offense

No offense intended here, it's the title of a series of art pieces featuring squirrels. See the art at the Linen Building.

Barnacle Bill

His owners say they found him in the Boise River.

Creative Drink Holders

I guess shoes were optional while beverages were banned. Enjoy the weekend.

Pressing My Luck?

But I had to get in close to read all that "fine" print.

Bike Love

Beautiful cruiser.

Local Vintage

This piece of history can be seen at Big City Coffee - but not everyone gets to see it. Just the ladies ;)

Knock, Knock

Who says a door has to be just one color? I adore this jolt of creativity.

Roosevelt Market

An historic gem in the East End. Neighborhood markets are rare today.

Saturday Caterday

My little buddy while shopping at Edwards Greenhouse this morning.

Magical Treehouse

Got a large tree stump in the backyard? Here's what one a lady in Boise's East End did with it - topped it with an A-frame treehouse for her grandkids.

Bottle Cap Art in Boise's East End

This is a decoration on a garden gate.

Butterfly Advice

A peaceful day to peruse Edwards Greenhouse. Prices are awesome right now.

On My Way to the River

The Boise River is prominently featured on this blog, but there are plenty of streams, tributaries and seasonal waterways to be enjoyed. This one is not far from the Boise River.

Childhood Nostalgia

I didn't even know these were still available. One just like it was my first gun. I notice that the packaging says for ages "8 and up." I'm pretty sure we played with these "underage."

Contemplation Site

I'd probably turn this bench around for a few of the Boise Foothills. It's a sweet viewing site.

Love This Name Tag

This is who helped us at Lowe's today :)

Forgotten Toy

I've seen these going for $40 in vintage stores.

Hidden Lakes Revealed

Hyatt Hidden Lakes Reserve last night. If you haven't explored this Boise gem, put it on your list this summer.

Coffee That Makes You Blush

For sale at one of my favorite coffee shops: Big City Coffee. Hey, it rhymes.

Farewell to The Children's Store

A mural inside The Children's Store on Orchard. The store is going out of business. My family has many fond memories of this place.

A Space Tragedy

If I could reach it, I'd push that "S" back over.

Steel and the JUMP Site

Towering rebar at the Jack's Urban Meeting Place construction site in Downtown Boise.

Highway Fire

Roadside blazes are common in the summer. They're usually started by tossed cigarette butts, although if a vehicle leaves the road, a fire can also be started.

Potato Sack Races

Real Idaho potato sacks for the run. Hop. Hop. Hop.

Future Pizza Delivery Experts

Pizza relay races at an elementary school last-day-of-school party, and whew, today feels like summer. Hot.

Garden Cat

Love the necklace.

Chocolate Bra

The sign should say: "Please Do Not Eat."

What Do Squirrels Dream About?

Evidently, they dream about fire! This art is on the fence at the Linen Building.

The Alley Behind Freak Alley

I like that the historic Alven Mercantile reference is weaved into the graffiti projects.

Tea Cottage

The gift shop at Miss Tami's Cottage and Tea Room. This is where you eat the best Monte Cristo in the world.
