Gone Feral In Idaho

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 ...

Snownose  The icicles are really growing  The ones hanging off the lights are near dangerous I took the new Sigma out for a few more shots. For what I'll be doing it'll be a great lens for me. These were some quick shots near sunset. I actually ventured out the doorway for these.
