Spring is Here

After many a false start this year, Spring appears to have finally arrived in the Treasure Valley of Idaho. The flowering trees are in their full glory and the hills are a verdant green. It's the time of year that we photographers spend as much time in the out-of-doors as is possible.

This past week I spent time with my camera, photographing the early morning light as it made its way over the rolling hills of the Boise Front and into the valley at Horseshoe Bend. The early morning light bounced off the moisture on the ground from the previous days rain storm, accenting the fresh greens of Spring. I continued on to Placerville, an old mining town, on a graded dirt road, giving the illusion of traveling in days gone by. The old buildings of a ghost town along the way deserve to be photographed in black and white. I hope you enjoy seeing what I saw.
