Week 20 – Motherhood

My plan was to drive into Boise to Kathryn Albertsons Park and get some shots of the Mama Geese and their goslings for Project52 over at My Four Hens.   Well..  I could hear them in the tall grass but their Mama’s had them hid very well.  

Part of Motherhood is being a protector.    This Mama was doing a good job of it.

 

Be Creative !

Payette Lake

Flowers on the Golf Course

Rapid River Fish Hatchery Salmon

Goose Lake

Wild Fire Smoke (on our way down from Goose Lake)

Pretty little Fawn

Bounce Bounce Bounce

Spring has Sprung!    Well last weekend I thought it had.. That crazy Mother Nature.   She is such a tease!   
Last weekend My Handyman and I went out to enjoy the beautiful, sunny and warm Spring day..  It was almost 60!   Yesterday it snowed!   Gotta love living in Idaho!  
Anywho…    we decided to get out of the house…  Cabin fever can take a tole on a person…   We decided to go to the MK Nature center  (Downtown Boise) and take a walk around and look at the wildlife.   It’s a great place to take a little stroll..   This time of year the rebirthing has begun.   Birds are nesting, fish are swimming , brooks are babbling, and a tiny hint of green is starting to show.

No fishing zone!   Let me tell you…  this really put the bug in me…  Time to get my 2010 license.  Beautiful Rainbow Trout…  My guestimate….  3 – 5 lbs each..


My favorite!   The geese!   I love geese!


Wait!   Maybe its the fish…  I’m so indecisive!    I just cant decide…   I love wildlife…  Thanks Dad for instilling this into my soul…  the beauty of nature leaves me in awe!

Did I mention the Wood duck???   Look at his brilliant red eye…   Stunning!


Enjoy!  Create!  Simplify!

In a Fog

The entire Treasure Valley is trapped in a foggy inversion! Its been dark and ugly out. I can't even see the mountains from my house in any direction... On top of that I've been sitting at home, in my pajamas sick for a few days. I'm finally feeling a little better but don't want to be around people. I talked My Handyman into taking me for a drive. I heard that its actually sunny in the mountains, and the deer and elk are down low. So off we went.

I took a couple of pictures along the Boise river. This fisherman was all bundled up in his Carhartts. I zoomed in on him and he has no idea that his picture is now on the internet! We are at the bottom of Lucky Peak Damn and there are a few icicles forming on the sides of the rocks that I thought looked cool.

We seen a lot of deer, but none close enough to zoom in on and get some good shots. That is photo shots! Hunting season is over! (I think they know that and thats why they feel safe down lower.) We were on a two lane hiway and couldn't pull over.

We headed North and what should appear? Mr Sunshine! Its amazing how a clear blue sky can really cheer me up! I love it! The higher altitude we were the less deer we saw so we turned around and headed home. The temp was around 45 in the higher elevations and only 31 in the valley.

Here is a peek of Mr Blue Sky! We're heading back into the fog. I hung my head out the window of the truck and took a few shots. See me in the rear view mirror??

Lense

I bought this new telephoto lense for my camera a few weeks ago.

Yesterday I went out to the backyard to read and look what I spotted. I hurried and grabbed my camera before Tanner spotted them too. Aren't they the cutest couple? Did you know that Quail mate for life?
