#222 Plastics

I have issues with holiday, yard, plastic inflatables.

However, so far, this yard was still going strong,

ready for trick-or-treaters.

#278 Soothing

The short drive (we ran out of time) through a portion of

Grand Teton National Park was very soothing. Jenny Lake

was calm and extraordinarily beautiful! We felt like

the only tourists in the Park!

#257 Self-Portrait

#321 The Letter T

Grand Teton, Teton National Park, Wyoming

on a beautiful autumn day!

#320 The Letter S

The Great SEAL of the State of Idaho

#337 Translucent

If you look closely you can see falling gold!

#234 Recreation

"Al-Lure" by Jason Brown to Grandma Mina - "Thanks for teaching us how to fish! Gift to the Idaho Falls Greenbelt from your kids and grandkids and The Sandpiper Restaurant."

There are about forty-three Art You Can Sit On benches scattered through downtown Idaho Falls and along both sides of the Snake River along the Greenbelt Park.

I love outdoor public art!

(That's one big fishing lure! Sometimes the cutthroat trout get really big.)

#201 Noisy

Even in the autumn when the flow is low, the falls on the Snake River are NOISY.

#34 Calm

What a beautiful, CALM, autumn afternoon on the Snake River!

#4 Alive

The greenbelt is ALIVE with geese who should have flown south by now.

#141 Heartwarming

These three drummers are part of the African Children's Choir from Uganda. The seven, eight, and nine-year-old children were amazing singers and dancers. Their eyes never left the face of their director. All the children have lost at least one parent to AIDS. It was an excellent performance!

#54 Cold

Jack Frost painted a gorgeous design on the top of my car this week.

Temps already in the 20's. Brrrrr.

#70 Daybreak

Early morning catching the sunrise.

"Moose" by Davidjohn Stosich. "Looking like they just meandered down from nearby Taylor Mountain, wild moose are carved into an oversized heavy pine bench in front of Buddy's Restaurant, Idaho Falls."

#27 Body Parts

"Legs and Feet" by Peggy Gunnerson.

Art You Can Sit On, downtown Idaho Falls.

#11 Asymmetrical

"Doodles" by Gloria Miller Allen. Art You Can Sit On, downtown Idaho Falls.

#255 Seaside

This is as close to a seaside I'm going to get this year -

marina on the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, Wyoming.

#179 Minimalism

One of the grand staircases in the newly refurbished Idaho state capitol building.

Clean, simple, minimal. 

#276 Softness

Well, they would be soft if not made of cement. I thought the snow added a bit of fluffy tone. Maybe I'll bring my own pillow.

"Pillows" by Peggy Gunnerson. Art You Can Sit On, downtown Idaho Falls.

#13 Autumn

In Idaho, autumn arrives on September 22 or 23 (depends).

The first snow can happen anytime after that, although,

on occasion, it has snowed BEFORE then.

#101 Favorite Food

Yes, I like beef, cooked, please. In any form - even liver. You just have to know how to cook it so it doesn't turn out crispy. It would be VERY difficult for me to be a voluntary vegetarian.

#95 Fairy Tale

This says "Merlin" to me but there was no title to this mural

on a building in Manitou Springs, Colorado.

Even though it's considered by some to be a suburb of Colorado Springs,

Manitou Springs is the cultural and political opposite of her neighbor.

#94 Faces

On an underpass in Denver. Pretty cool, I think. 

Note that the reflection in each pair of glasses is different, 

emphasizing a different aspect of Denver/Colorado culture.

#92 Eyes

Rupert with his human, my daughter. They both have beautiful eyes!

Do-Over #7

#77 Door

Entrance to the Idaho Black History Museum, a former church. Unfortunately for me it was closed.

#100 Fasteners

An antique door knob and lock keep this door fastened.

Looks like the lock has been updated. Good thing.

#161 Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny

Itsy-teeny rain drops grace the petals and leaves of this beautiful rose.

So elegant.

The downside of walking in a rose garden in the rain is, well, you get wet. The upside is you have the garden all to yourself! So much beauty, so little time.

#184 Motion Blur

Rose Garden, Julia Davis Park, Boise, Idaho

#269 Slick

A steady rain made all the streets slick but this was the most interesting street.

The six hundred block of Grove Street in Boise, Idaho is still the Basque Center - lots of history and several great restaurants! This symbol is everywhere. The four points represent fire, water, wind and earth.

#175 Macro Shot

I think this is as "macro" as my point and shoot will get.

I wonder what species of moss this is.

#180 Misty Foggy

Not enough snow yet for skiing but the clouds hid the mountain, making it misty and foggy and pretty.

Twenty miles north of Boise at about 7,000 feet elevation.

#168 Letters in Architecture

The letter "O" - the rose window at the Cathedral of the Rockies/1st United Methodist Church.

Boise, Idaho.

#333 Together

No matter the weather, these children play marbles together. I wish girls weren't usually portrayed as spectators/cheerleaders.

Sorry, no indication as to the artist's identity. The sculpture is located in the Grove Plaza, Boise, Idaho.
