Inversion Walkabout

we are now in my second least favorite season Boise has. number 1 is wildfire season that happens in late summer. my second least favorite is inversion season that happens in winter. it is continually smoggy with clear skies above that look grey from all the particulate stuck in the bubble that has settled over town.  the highs never get above freezing and the lows dip to the single digits. nonetheless, our little family bundled up for a walk on the green belt.

Sadie was on to something here. She dug and dug for some varmint. Yep that's what we call little animals here.

 These are rare mustache hair formations.

Snow with a hoar frost

the river had some thin ice with some neat frost balls on it

more frost formations on snow

Usually the geese are pooping all over creation, but they still look great in flight

Splash at the white water park (with real white water)

this mister froze when Sadie saw him, he was eyeing a lady duck that already had a companion.

 

more smelly geese, they do look much better in formation  than by the hundreds on the ground.

Nice Boise creek at wintertime. 

happy dog and my mister on a nice family outing

 we stayed nice and warm and had a nice outing. all were shot with the new Sigma lens.
