Blustery Walk and Perrine Bridge

I needed to get out of the warm house and cool off. Boy, did we cool off. We completely understand why folks in Magic Valley plant wind breaks. We got away from the few homes and the large wind break of trees and that NW wind was cold. Once we were at the retention pond behind the Gov't Research center our toes were cold. Shannon couldn't fit her bandadged big toe into a shoe without the toe hurting. Flip flops don't help protect from wind chill.

I was determined to have another Christmas card photo shoot in front of the Perrine Bridge in Twin Falls, ID. You never know who will look good or NOT in group photos. Even with digital, the viewer is too small often to tell if someone's eyes are closed. I've discovered eyes look funny when I paste them on over closed eyes.

Lava Hot Springs 2009

The weather was great for Lava Hot Springs about 40F and sunny. I was determined to have a photo shoot of the family at the Springs for our Christmas Card 2009, so we set up the tripod and camera and entertained the other Springs customers. Stayed long enough to get our $48 dollars worth and headed to Kimberly, ID, to visit Grandma and Grandpa Smith. The Springs were AWESOME:D
