It was a gorgeous frosty morning in beautiful Kuna, Idaho. I took my camera out and tried to capture some of the scenes around the neighborhood.

Idaho
A few nights ago we wandered out across town to downtown Boise … We ate dinner at the Westside Drive In. Brian and I have both eaten there before, but it had been years, so we decided to try it again – and Oh. My. God. We didn’t realize what we had been missing! It was truly spectacular. The best french fries in the valley!! Brian said his finger steaks were the best he’d ever had – and I second that vote on my chicken strips. How is it that Chef Lou can make simple, everyday food so freaking delicious? We topped it off with a fudge shake and now we must go on a diet! We took some pictures too, of course – first is mine, second is Brian’s:
And after dinner, we stopped by to visit Metro Express Car Wash, which is showing some of my photos on the big screen! They are showing my photos from 9pm – 7am through Sunday night. Cool! Below is a shot of my Sail Away photo on the big screen!
I really love this town.

So, remember those exciting announcements I mentioned? Well, here we are finally. If you look up toward the top of the site, you will notice that there is now a link to my SHOP! I am so excited, I can hardly stand it. I have 5 images available for purchase in my shop right now, and I have several more lined up for later this week. Such fun!
It has taken longer than I anticipated … everyone in my family has been sick and well, you know the rest … life gets in the way sometimes.
But, in addition to my online shop I am very excited to tell you all that I will also be selling prints at the Kuna Farmers Market starting this weekend. The market is every Saturday from 9 am to noon. I don’t think I will be there every Saturday … I doubt Brian would appreciate me leaving him in charge of Saturday morning chaos at our house every week. But as soon as I have a definite schedule worked out, I will post it here.
Also, my fabulous husband helped me put together some gallery pages, which you can also find at the top of the site. I have started adding my favorite photographs to some of the galleries, with more coming soon.
The photo in this post is one I took on our honeymoon, on the shores of gorgeous Priest Lake Idaho. You can see it bigger in the landscapes gallery, and purchase prints of it in my shop!
Such exciting things going on around here!

I have this obsession lately with taking pictures of rooftops … especially on old buildings. It always makes me wonder how long the building has been standing in that spot, and the people who have lived (or worshiped in this case) under that roof. This was taken in Hagerman, Idaho last weekend (with texture added of course). St. Catherine’s Catholic Church if I remember correctly … We were just passing through and I thought this building was so beautiful – so of course I made Brian pull over so I could take pictures.

I took a walk this afternoon in Kathryn Albertson Park. KA has spectacular fall colors, and gorgeous summer flowers. I wasn’t sure what I would find to photograph so early in the spring before all the big, impressive blooms appear – but my walk turned into an interesting exploration of textures.
Take a look at this fuzzy thing … it’s sort-of like a poufy ball of cotton candy:
And then there were these dry, papery grasses:
And I saw lots of these red twigs- can’t wait to see these bushes in bloom:
See all the soggy, slimy grasses and branches in the water next to this crane?
When this park is in bloom, it is gorgeous. I would venture to say that it is one of the most-photographed areas of Boise. Every time I am there – even this afternoon- there are other people taking pictures. It is so easy to find photograph worthy subjects later in the year, but it pushes your creativity a bit when you visit a place like this in the off season – everything is dull, and dry and dead. You have to look closer and pay attention to texture and pattern to get interesting images. It was a good way to remind me to slow down and pay attention to the details.
