Life Under the Sun

The Beagle

A little known and much hated clause in Murphy’s Law goes something like “Right before a vacation life will be busy, hectic, and you’ll probably have to travel for work.”  After working for three days in Boise, I have returned home to leave for vacation in the morning.

In Boise I stayed with friends who own this adorable dog named Pesto.  Pesto turns me into a big ball of sucker, and I end up cuddling on the floor with her most every evening.

So with that, I’m off to Grand Targhee!  I’ll be back, with plenty of photography to share, in a week.


Backcountry, Craters of the Moon

This weekend Mike and I headed to Craters of the Moon for a bit of alpine touring.  The conditions were fantastic, and the day was beautiful.

Hermes

I recently acquired my most triumphant thrift store item to date – a 1958 Hermes 3000 traveling typewriter.  Mint green.  Working.  (Um, eeee!)

Today I treated this treasure to it’s very own photo shoot.  It clearly deserves it.

Street Life for 31ish

This month’s challenge on 31ish is “street life.”  Today, I captured one singular alley that cuts through Hailey.  See some of the images here, then head over to 31ish to watch for posts from my counterparts Jeff and Melissa.

Evening Light, Ridgeline

I captured these layers of evening light on my way home from work.  The front of the range was already cast in shadow while the sun illuminated the higher peaks.  In the bottom left foreground are tracks from backcountry skiers.


Home, Moonrise

Last night I saw this unusual combination of light reflecting off a snowy roof with moonrise on the ridge right behind.  I like the contrast of soft, warm light and crisp, cool light in the same scene.
