Scenes from Southern Idaho~ Fall's gone

I was driving my kids to school yesterday and it was a beautiful morning.  Just as I was reaching home I decided to grab my camera and take a drive to capture the last of what is Fall around here.  Stopping along the country roads that surround my neighborhood, to take pictures of the things I see everyday, helped me appreciate the place that I live in again.  I had someone stop to see if I was o.k. and I told her I was just photographing the landscape as it was beautiful out today.  She gave me a funny look and said "really?".  I guess to some it would not be pretty, but it is home to me.  I realized how much I loved it when we moved to Alaska where there are no fields, open skies, or miles of open land for your eyes to see.  Fall is almost gone now.  Just a week left I bet.  Here are some of the pictures I took of what I see (minus the millions of dairies~everyone has seen cows before) everyday of my life and I love it.

My favorite barn.

Overlooking the next town to the left.

Properties divided by small fences.

Some corn crops are left up during the winter.

Many homesteads dot the land surrounded by their farms

Hay stacked for the animals.

The Russian Olive trees smell so good and follow the canal.  My neighborhood is just behind them.

All harvested and beautiful blue skies as far as one can see.

Random neighborhoods here and there.

I love the windmills as long as there are just a few in one spot. 

Over looking the next town to the right.  Old barns are here and there. 

Just to the South, the South Hills provide a forest for camping 45 min. away.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!!  We are having a birthday party for one of my very special little girls.  Then we are going shopping for Thanksgiving dinner.  Costco here we come.  If we get there right before lunch, we don't have to feed the kids while we're out.  They will just gobble up all the samples.  Ha Ha Ha.  Tis the season.....
