I think it was 18 degrees when I took this photo this morning.

Fingers crossed that the "and more" part of this stand serves up warm drinks soon.

Architectural Details in the North End

Looking up while walking through a row of historic homes.

Candy-Colored Beads

Delicious colors in a bead bin at Craft Warehouse.

Snow Frosted Pumpkin

This happened earlier in the week. The white stuff didn't stick around very long, though.

Wayfinding Humor

The sign at the entrance of the RV park on the Boise River at Glenwood. Just for fun!

Fairy Tale Entrance

A grant entryway that's hard to see when the trees are covered with leaves.

Looks Like a Happy Home

In the North End.

Snow Frosting for the Pumpkins

Another light snow overnight. It didn't last very long.

Last Blast of Color

High winds, colder temperatures and light snow will quickly end the autumn show. These beauties are at Cloverdale Cemetery - photographed yesterday.

Toy Clock

It looks like it's covered in jewels with the lights at night. The clock is in the window of a store that sells Legos and other building sets in Eagle.

November Saturday

The beauty is almost unreal. So fortunate to live in this town.

Autumn Shed

This crumbling shed is in a community garden.

Capitol City Christian Church

The entryway of this church is striking, but the alley-view is beautiful, too. Capitol City Christian is next to Boise High School.

Nelson Sign - Soon to be Gone

Hard to believe this business closed. There is construction activity at the site, so the sign may soon disappear.

Showy Trees Offset Gray Days

Some areas of town saw a few snowflakes this morning!

Tiny Street Art Heart

It may be small, but it carries a big message.

Tiny Shoes on a Tiny Horse

Tiny horses from Mini-Joys stopped by an event center last weekend for public play. Fun to brush and comb and pet. They're often used as therapy horses.

Autumn Gnome

Buried up to his whiskers in maple tree leaves.

Winter Warnings

It seems silly because there isn't any ice...but there could be soon, so these signs are posted at local ponds.

Busking for a Shower

Autumn Color in Capitol Park

This autumn, the foliage color show has been good, but not as bright and long-lasting as last year.

Campaign Sign Recycling

Just an idea, with Election Day today.

Starting in two years, new phone numbers will carry the area code 986, instead of 208.
