The Boise foothills have my attention right now. They are changing from the winter wheat color to a beautiful soft green. Every day they are different. Many times during the day they have a different feel. I run out in the hills with my running group. A few days ago I took my iPhone alongContinue reading “Northeast Boise Foothills “Almost Spring””
