We drove up to Moscow last Sunday afternoon for dinner with Noel & Judy and Gail & Dan. I took this shot at the top of the hill just as you round the corner and can see Moscow with Moscow Mountains behind. We noticed Moscow is growing, the sign at the city limits reads 23,000 population! That's up by 5,000 since we moved!!!!!
Driving back to Lewiston the sky was so pretty and the Palouse is getting on her harvest colors so I had to take a shot. This is the Moser's farm about half way between Moscow and Genesee.
We had to stop at the top of Lewiston hill with such a beautiful sunset over the L-C Valley! It really was a beautiful sunset. You can even see a bit of the confluence of the Snake and the Clearwater Rivers. On a clear day, you can see a bit of Hell's Canyon from this hill.
This was taken from the same location as the picture above, but this one I'm looking back towards the Palouse and the beautiful cloud!
I decided to try "fussy cutting" a cathedral window hot pad. My Aunt Sally is moving into a new house and she loves birds so this was an experiment with her in mind.
Yesterday we drove to Kamiah to visit Loriann. We had a good visit with her and got to go out to dinner in Kamiah. We left Kamiah about 7 p.m., just about when the canyon goes into shadow. (This is a phenomenon that we miss in Florida!! When the sun goes behind the mountains, but it's a long time until sunset.) You can tell the sun is still up because it's still shining up on the tops of the mountains. This is also an unusual river in Idaho -- very few rapids! There was an article in the paper that said Idaho has more white water than any other state and the state that comes in second has more than 1000 miles less than Idaho. I took this shot as we were going across Red Wolf Crossing Bridge in Clarkston at about 8:30 pm. During our 1 1/2 hour drive from Kamiah to Clarkston we never had the sun in our eyes, but we didn't start to see the sunset until we were almost to Clarkston. What a beautiful drive, the Clearwater River looked like a jewel with the light reflecting on it. We have really enjoyed our visit to Idaho this summer and revisiting many of our favorite places and some new places too. I was speaking to a visitor the other day who said that she thought Idaho was the best kept secret in the nation and we were really smart to keep it that way.
