Idaho Safari

As much as possible, especially during the nice weather, I need to get out and explore. It feeds the creative spirit within. In those moments I breathe in life.

Sunday morning, Scott and I decided to get up prior to the sunrise and find adventure for the day. Scott packed a picnic brunch and we headed out. On dusty gravel roads we followed signs to tiny towns that were so quaint and filled with history. In these towns, dogs playfully run in the streets, fresh eggs are sold from the porches of country homes. At one point, we stopped to get a cup of coffee from a "mom and pop" store. When we went to pay the owner, she said "OH, it's Sunday.... coffee is free today".

Along the way, the hillsides were filled with wild daisies of gold and white. It was so beautiful. The morning sky, the dusty road, the flowered hills, birds of all kinds, deer, abandoned old mine shafts, old log cabins with wagons, and lots of cattle blocking the road, we had found our moments of "awe". We followed rivers and streams, watched kayakers, and ate our food by a small pond. I called that day my first "Idaho Safari". I thought I would share some photos of that day....
