The camas are abloom!

It's that time of year again and I made it down to the Camas Prairie Centennial Marsh on Thursday to catch them in all their glory. Posting a few photos along with a link to an article I did for a local website all about happenings in and around Sun Valley including information about things to see and do, local history and politics, sustainability, the music scene, photography, restaurants, merchants, and local artists and athletes.

More of the Marsh and some other stuff

We visited the marsh again and although the camas have gone to seed the birds are still there along with lots and lots and lots of mosquitoes. We took the new camera but we forgot the bug dope.

Wait, wait, wait....I know there's a hike coming, I just know it.
If I just wait.

After the marsh we went east to Fish Creek Reservoir. One of my favorites spots.

Along the way some roadside flowers.

And a dog in his truck. Still waiting.

And people wonder why I anthropomorphize dog on a daily basis.
