Sun Valley and beyond...

On Monday we took a little ride with Bill n Kathy to Sun Valley. Our little drive took all day...lol...

We liked the bear.

They liked the Moose.

 Sales everywhere, and we shopped, but didn't buy much. And, NO kids, Dad didn't buy the purple shoe...LOL

 Loved these twig buildings. I think eventually they'll be used as trellises for vines. The new art center will be located at this location.

This is a memorial to Ernest Hemingway, who died here. We walked along the slippery 6 inches of mud above a racing creek holding on to saplings for about 70 feet to get a birdhouse cache. Was it worth it? You bet...fun!

Lastly we strolled through a botanical garden in the making. This Buddist Prayer Wheel was brought by the Dalai Lama in 2005. But what impressed me in this area were the HUGE flat rocks. OMG, I'd sure love to have one or two in my yard.

Yesterday we did about a 3 mile walk here in Twin Falls. It was a wonderful morning...a bit cloudy...but warm.

The guys insisted on walking behind us, but eventually we got to walk behind them and enjoy the view.

 Along the way Kathy and I played with my camera...she is really pretty & will kill me if she knows I put this in...hee-hee...used the 'fisheye' effect. Then I used the 'sports' effect to try to stop the motion of the waves going over the rocks.

 44 degrees this morning and pouring rain...We're outta here after breakfast and heading towards the sunshine through Eastern Nevada.
