Boise may technically be high desert, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have our share of watery beauty. The gorgeous Boise River and its many outlets run straight through the Treasure Valley, providing tons of opportunities for recreation, wildlife watching, and (of course) photography. Here are a few of my favorites of the river in different seasons.
The winter months at the end of 2012 and beginning of 2013 have seen some of the most frigid temperatures and icy conditions in southern Idaho in a long while. With temperatures plummeting below 0F for a few nights and weeks of snowy roads around Boise, it’s been a challenge to take photos without frozen fingers! But I stuck it out a few times, thankfully – here’s a look at our Idaho winter around the Treasure Valley and Idaho City.
Table Rock is one of Boise’s most prominent landmarks, rising above the valley with its immediately-identifiable table-like summit. While the giant cross has been a constant source of controversy as long as I can remember, there’s no denying that whatever your faith, it makes for a pretty sight, especially with storm clouds and golden hour light. With all the rain lately, I bet the trail leading up to the summit is currently closed due to mud, but last week it was dry as a bone and a pleasant hike to the top!
