Hanging On

The last of the Fall leaves are just barely hanging on.  The beautiful colors are almost gone.   Winter is almost here.   I took a little walk around my backyard and down the little greenbelt along Indian Creek and took a couple of photos to celebrate the end of the best season ever.

It's time to put away the Fall stuff and get out the Winter stuff…



Listen to this amazing song by Britt Nicole "Hanging On".

Enjoy!

The {F} Family

I had a great time shooting this family.  It was another beautiful Fall day in Boise, Idaho.  There were so many good photo’s I had a hard time deciding which one’s to share.  

I shot a few individual ones, also.

 

Enjoy!

 

The {M} Family

I took pictures of this fun family a few weeks ago.  It turned out to be a beautiful Fall day in Boise, Idaho.

2 1/2 year old twins are quite the adventure.  :)

 

 

Enjoy!

 

Black and White

Everything is not always black and white.   We live in a colorful world.  I love black and white photography,  but for some reason I have a hard time editing it.

I can’t even tell you how many hundreds of pictures I took this year.   I picked a handful and was playing around in Photoshop and did a few edits.  All in different shades of black and white.

Love Is In The Air

Fall is the most wonderful time of the year…..  wait…  some may say otherwise, but I really do love Fall.   The days are sunny, the air is a bit nippy, I get to dig out my jeans and sweaters, and the colors are the best ever!!!    My favorite colors are reds, greens, yellows and oranges.   Just wonderful!

I had the pleasure of taking photographs for this fun couple's wedding a couple of weeks ago.  It had been cold and rainy for a couple of days.  Even that morning it was a little rainy and cold.   The weather cleared up a bit,  the sun peeked out of the clouds a few times and it turned out to be a gorgeous day!  

We took a few pictures at a wetlands nature park.  It was so pretty there, even if it was a little breezy.

 

Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Roseberry – Historic Idaho Town

We took a drive to the historic old town of Roseberry.  Roseberry is nestled in a beautiful valley within the Rocky Mountains, just 2 hours North of Boise. Surrounded by beautiful green pastures, mountain lakes and 360 degree views, you wouldn't know it today, but in 1911 Roseberry was the largest town in Valley County.  It was a Finnish community.  We visited the old general store, church, museum and several old homesteads.   You can read more about it here.

Another drive around the lake….

 

Another elusive guy..   Every like crackle of a stick, or even the motor on my lens he would jump around and fly off.   These were taken with my 200mm.  The best I could get.  Some day.  And still no moose!

 

The afternoon we were leaving to head back to reality, standing in the middle of the road was a deer staring at us with that deer in the headlights gaze.   She just stood there staring.  We came to a complete stop. My Handyman finally tapped his horn and she slowly crossed the road.   That is the extend of my wildlife viewing other than the birds.  It was a very enjoyable trip.
