"But I had been living in cities and smoke; and Idaho, even with rain, was delightful to me." quote from "The Virginian" by Owen Wister.
Since I have been in Idaho it has been cold; with many days of rain and snow. Today it was glorious, so I decided to go hiking up Mink Creek south of Pocatello. I strolled along a small creek that was swollen with spring run-off. I was able to see two mallard ducks and a small herd of mule deer. It was enjoyable to be out in the mountains and feel the tranquility and solitude that I missed when living in Texas.
An old tree along the path whose trunk had split; with the white branches being dead and the brown branches alive.
Small bushes are starting to flower
A tree that beavers had started to gnaw on, but someone had put a wire fence around it to protect it . There were other areas along the path where the beaver had cut down smaller trees.
An old bird house waiting for the birds to return to nest for another year.
