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.

So, as you all may remember, I failed miserably at my first attempt at 365 pictures in 365 days. But THIS is THE YEAR. 2010 – a year in pictures. I’m trying again and I think I’ll make it this time.

Some branches that we stole borrowed from someone else’s tree in town. And I’ve been playing with making some of my own textures again … lots of fun!

This week I start a new feature – Tuesdays I will list fun, creative, interesting content that I found interesting from the week before.

  • The picture above is new this week in my portfolio at Dreamstime.
  • Have you seen the couture de jour features on lillyella? Every day she features a complete outfit (with shopping links!) including accessories – submitted by readers. Many of the items are handmade or indie artists as well. Fabulous for those of us who are fashion impaired!
  • Trent at The Simple Dollar gives tips for handling all those extra garden veggies many people end up with around this time of year. There are some pretty typical ones on there – canning your extras, for example – but he also offers some other really fun ideas. What about having a harvest party? What a great idea! Or make your own salsa and give it away as Christmas presents … some creative and frugal ideas for you!
  • I recently discovered the blog Simply Hue – I can’t remember how I stumbled upon it, but I have been following for a month or so now, and it is filled with lovely, inspiring finds! Last week she ran a series on inspiring designers, and a few weeks ago she ran a series on lovely photographers. Go visit!
  • The White Hot Truth – a fascinating blog that I just discovered this week. Written by Danielle LaPorte – writer, blogger, spiritual diva, business guru. Very thought-provoking.

PS – don’t forget to go enter the photo giveaway at Akane Designs! Only three days left!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of taking some family portraits for my friend Jeana and her super cute family. I had a lot of fun – these two kiddos are full of personality. Thanks for having me over, guys! More to come soon, but wanted to share a few of my favorites.

Boise Evening

August 15, 2009

in Idaho, My Photographs

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.
