Have You Ever Been to Idaho Falls?

I was taking a little stroll near the Snake River in Idaho Falls...


... and what should I chance upon but the falls that gave the city their name.


They definitely cross the river at a very sharp diagonal.


I've never seen anything quite like it. Up close you can see the rapids, but further back, it runs in a straight line. I don't know if the "regularity" is man-made or natural. I'll check it out the next time I go.




And here is part of a park a little further south sponsored by the local Rotary Club with a distinctively Japanese feeling to it.  Beautiful.

What's Around the Next Bend?

You never know what's going to be around the next bend.  It's true in life, but in this case, I mean this quite literally.  Last week, I took a new road out into the countryside.  I went around a bend, and a whole new landscape greeted me.  Rolling hills, farmland, and there were even some naturally occurring trees.  Who knew?

I was especially awed by the touches fall color. (Click on the pictures for a larger image.)




If only I could capture more than a hint of their grandeur.
