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??
OH! NO! Mr Sunshine is hiding again!!
Enjoy!

Thanks for visiting my blog....the story I wrote was old but true. Life is great!
I lived in Lowman for about 4 months doing research with my husband. I loved it. I wish I was there! Where are you? (We will be going back for more research)
Loved the photos....I miss the mountains more than anything.
My Mom grew up on the Oregon side of Treasure Valley (Vale) and we still have family there. I didn't realize that the awful inversions we get here are also present up there. Yuck! I hate it when they settle in.
We've got one going now but it's not too bad- there's a peak of blue sky.
Oh the sunshine! I didn't realize how much I am missing it...how many days has it been now that we have been stuck in this cold grey-ness?!?! YUCK! But, those pictures are great...sounds like a really nice drive!!!
P.S. Your card totally made my day...nothing like a little "sunshine" in your mailbox! :)

Glad your feeling better. I have had a nasty cold myself and have been pretty lazy trying to get over it. Love those trips to the mountains in the winter to visit the beautiful scenery and the blue sky. Its better then a prescription from the doc to clear you head. Smiles B
love the pictures. sorry you're feeling sick - hope you feel better real soon - it is amazing how much getting some sun helps us feel better. take care
Oh we have not seen Mr. Sunshine for a few days. INVERSION! YUCK!!
I need to go for a ride up in the mountains and see some blue sky.
What a great blog you have here :)
During the entire winter season, the Great Salt Lake causes a serious inversion here. Oh how I miss the sun!
It's amazing how a little sunshine can lift the spirits! Hope you are feeling better.
We are stuck in the same inversion and it is SO frustrating to be cloud for so long! Hopefully the stagnant air warning will go away soon which would mean we would get some sunshine. Only in my dreams for this time of year I guess. :o) Feel better soon!
