Wallace, Idaho

 I'm finally able to walk around much better. It is so nice having my feet back under me! We took a trip over 4th of July Pass to Osborn, Idaho and then swung over to Wallace and then stopped at Cataldo. The Sunshine Mine buildings are really interesting to shoot as was Wallace. We didn't walk around the mission compounbd at Cataldo but got a nice shot of it from across and of the Coeur d'alene River. 

Happy Moose day!

 I am still hindered from walking by my broken ankle, a few weeks away from being able to walk without assistance of a walker. Hopefully really soon I can get out and enjoy the feeling of having both feet under me, flying down the paths and trails. Today we took a drive around the Turnbull motor route. Good day as we had the enjoyment of watching a cow moose munching close enough to the road that we were able to get some good shots of her. Such gorgeous creatures! There were a couple of swans out and about. The goldenrod was about gone by but there was a pretty patch left.

Manito Park in summer

I'm sorry its been a while sence I have made a post. 5 weeks ago I had a freak accident and wiped my ankle out. My ankle now has more hardware, plates, screws etc, than ankle. I am healing but can't put any weight on it at all for eight weeks. Over half way there but it has put a crimp into my walking. My husband nicely offered to push me around Manito park so I could get some shots of the gorgeous sights of Manito Park before all the flowers were gone. There was a huge amount of people out enjoying the gorgeous summer that is 2020.

Baby Raccoon & Liberty Lake Trail

A little raccoon surprised me on the way out of our place today by peering down at me from up a tree. He, I think was waiting for dark to come so he could get safely away. We walked the Liberty Lake Trail today. Going as far as the Cedar Forrest and then back. There were a lot of people and there 2 and 4 footed kids out enjoying the sunshine and wonderful spring weather. Encountered a really odd snake on the trail.

Riverside State Park the Turkey Vultures

The Western most trail running along the sheer cliffs accessed from W Trails Road is home to a flock of Turkey Vultures, known as a Wake, Committee, Volt or Venue. They are nesting up in the caves on one side of the trail. They are huge birds and really do circle above as you have seen in the movies. A number of them were not happy with me climbing up toward them and stood with their wings outstretched showing their displeasure.

Springtime in the Perry district & Rockwood Boulevard

This time of year is always a riot of color and new life everywhere. Spokane's Perry district and Rockwood Boulevard is especially bright and colorful!
