California, Nevada, Oregon....

The first in a potentially long line of images from a recent road trip around California, Nevada, and Oregon. More on the way, as they're finished. Proof that we live in a lovely, varied world. Enjoy!

Brave and Valiant Soldier

For Memorial Day this year, the city of Eagle, ID erected this temporary display. A field of flags, each with the name of a fallen soldier. What a beautiful and moving scene.

More Stacked Rocks

More of the rocks - from the previous post:

Stacked Rocks

On a recent weekend trip through with the family through the mountains of Idaho, we found ourselves on a gravel and dirt road, heading to the small town of Yellow Pine. The river was running very high along the road, and occasionally we came upon these rocks, stacked by the road and in the fields. They vary in scale - some only tiny pebbles, some so large that I think they must have been placed using equipment.

I was not successful in discovering how they'd come to be there or when, but thought they were beautiful, anyway!

Skies Overhead

I recently took a little road trip across Idaho, and was thrilled to have beautiful skies for the drive. It took a little longer than it should have, though, what with all the stopping and detours to admire the scenery.
