MK Nature Center ~ Boise

The locals call it "fish park".  It has amazing nature trails, wildlife, fish viewing tanks, and it's a favorite for kids/families.  In autumn...........a little bit of heaven....

Great Pumpkin Project ~ Day 19

I'm finding that I like the walking trails, neighborhood walks, old neighborhood homes, the quiet family places for my pumpkins.  The crispness in the air, the smoke smell from fireplaces, Halloween decorations starting to show up. That seems to bring my memories of Halloween to the front of my mind, my heart....

The Boise River Greenbelt is 25 miles of walking trails that are maintained year-round.  The greenbelt was busy with families getting fall photos.  The pumpkin tonight went home with a young family with a 4 year old boy and his baby sister...

Ah, autumn....

It's late.  The wind is blowing.  Leaves rustling.  Cloudy night.  Harvest moon. Bit of a chill.  Soft orange lighting.  Cuppa tea.  Inside is finished. Neighborhood is quiet....ah, autumn....

I love her so much ...

I did not leave my JOL in this park.  I gave it to a very curious 7 year old boy whose birthday was the next day.  I made sure his grandpa was okay with him accepting a pumpkin from a stranger. Also made sure it had a GPP tag and tea light.  As we make the exchange grandpa tells me with a big smile "Happy Halloween."  Grandson also with a big smile then tells me, " My grandpa's birthday is Halloween."  Destiny......

Hey, we're in the news...

Last year our local newspaper expressed an interest in doing an article on our Halloween display.  They sent a photographer, Katherine Jones, and a reporter, Dan (Dusty) Parnell.  It's been an interesting and fun experience.  They both did an awesome job and we're crazy about the results.  We are beyond thankful for their interest and their talent.
The print edition is in the Idaho Statesman Treasure Magazine.  It's a special edition printed 4 times a year and included with subscriptions.
The online edition has a video and about 47-48 photos.
BTW ~ I am not clever adding links, photos, etc.  The photo below is not one of theirs.  It's mine but I couldn't figure out how to attach their photo to the links. To view the print or online editions, please click on the links.
