Ghost Cars in Boise

Weird things happen in the springtime in Idaho. This is but one example. The Ghost Cars appear in Boise the morning after the Super Full Moon! Is there a relationship here? Left-Click the photo to enlarge and you will see the cars better. Cheers!

April Full Moon - "Pink Moon"

It's called the Pink Moon because it rises when trees and shrubs are flowering in pink. Photo taken in SE Boise, Thursday night.

Marshmallow World

Yay!

Boise December Skies

Last night, while sitting in the Piper Pub imbibing, the sunset was beautiful. The reflection on the Wells Fargo Bank Building was brilliant. And the overall sky colors were vibrant. And as fast as the colors developed .... they were gone. Enjoy! These photos were taken with my Samsung Android.

Decay in the Countryside

An array of decay just west of Boise, as seen on a stormy evening.

Sweet Goldfinch in Winter Attire

Lots of American goldfinches snacking on the black-eyed Susan seed heads today :)

Fall Is In Bloom

After a slow and gentle fall misty rain and the air is full of the mountainous sweet cinnamon smell of the Yarrow, the colors of fall are vibrant and the Last Rose of Summer is in full bloom, there is peace in this valley.

Another Take on the Harvest Moon

An earlier view of the Harvest Moon tonight, before Bob Young's excellent darkened skies shot :)

Shrub Steppe Thrives in the Heat

Sagebrush dotting the grassy landscape is the shrub steppe habitat just north of Boise. Yep, it's hot out there.

Mother's Day Morning

Happy Mother's Day! This is a view of the Boise Front just before sunrise today.

Rainbow Over Boise

The Capitol looks so small and insignificant.

Plowing the Fields

Freshly-plowed land aligned with the road and utility poles. If you could follow these rows for a few miles, you'd end up at the base of Squaw Butte in the hazy background.

Goldfinch Having Lunch

This male goldfinch spent most of Tuesday pulling lunch out of the black-eyed Susan seed heads...right outside my office window :)
