White Barn

The spring rains are greening things up quickly.

A Sign of Spring?

I see bare feet!

Time to Plant Primroses

They're hardy for our frost-covered mornings in early spring.

White Bicycle Memorial

In remembrance of a bicyclist killed last year, and a safety reminder.

Raindrops on Lupine

Big rain last night, and it looks like the rest of spring break week will be cool. Lupine grows wild in the Boise Foothills, and it's an easy plant to grow from seed in the home landscape.

How a Monster Rides a Tricycle

This art is on the side of the Linen Building.

Spring Break

I know many folks take trips away during this week, but there's fun to be had at home. In the backyard.  

Hello Garden Gnome

Chubby 'goodwill' for the gardening season.

Monsters Running Down the Middle of the Street

Explanation: Treefort. Boise is so fun!

Colors and scents of spring are on display at the Boise Centre on the Grove. Gather ideas for the upcoming season.

Treefort Time

Treefort. It's a Boise thing. Music and more, with YogaFort, KidFort, HackFort, ComedyFort, SkateFort, AleFort and on and on. I'll be climbing around as many forts as I can this weekend.

Boise Daily Photo Birthday

A wild-looking forsythia in bloom for the first day of spring! It's also Boise Daily Photo's birthday. Six years old today. More than 2,200 photos of the town I love.

Rusted

Just waiting for some TLC.

Spell-check Would Not Have Helped

This sign was posted on the auditorium door at a local school. 

Another Crane

More equipment at the JUMP construction site, Downtown Boise.

Polar Bear Love

This image is seen a couple of places in Downtown Boise.

March Madness Rocks

This company doesn't just do fan rocks, anything you want on a rock - they'll do it.

What a Way to Start the Day

Such a sweet morning sky treat in Boise today.

Exit Here for Craft Beer

The Craft Beer sign has been ordered removed because it might confuse Boiseans driving on the Connector. What do you think?

PBR Herd

PBR Herd is the title of this piece on the north side of the Linen Building.

Hello Spring!

Yes!

Millipede Invasion

A baggie FULL of millipedes. These samples came into the lab at University of Idaho Extension this week. A man told us they were crawling all over his floor by the hundreds. For the record, millipedes don't harm people or home interiors, and will die out if they find themselves inside. Best strategy is to seal cracks so they can't get into your home because this kind of thing can cause nightmares ;)

Bicycle Town

All ages. Even in the rain. Even in the snow. Even when it's 100 degrees.

Fancy Liquor Store Decor

This state-run liquor store is in Eagle.

Chicky-Babes - 99 Cents and Up

Hundreds of chicks are at D&B Supply. Prices are 99-cents and up. They also have a few ducklings.

Fisher's Vacuum Villa

It doesn't look "open" to me anymore, but I could be wrong. This business is a State Street relic.

Golf Year-Round in Boise

Disc golf is played in all weather. This disc-catcher is outside the Flying Pie on State Street.

The Snow Line is Rising

The view isn't greening up yet, but the snow is retreating.

The Rules

Posted at Boise Rock School. Always good to read the fine print.

Crash and Rain

Slippery, darkish conditions expected for the next several days.

National History Day

Conspiracy theorists rejoice. A student at Lowell School Middle School put together this exhibit for the National History Day competition today.
