Our City |
This is it, Boise Idaho. A beautiful, high desert place with lots to do, kind and honest people, good economy, and open spaces when you want them. I moved here in around '91 and never turned back.
This picture was taken in the parking lot of a local Albersons grocery store. In a lot of ways, it sums up the "core" of Boise, and of Idaho, although to be fair this was taken in the early 90's, and Boise has changed a lot in the ensuing years. I couldn't resist, after seeing this shortly after I moved here, to race to my car for a camera and snapped a pic!

The
Apartment  |
Our previous home, the apartment/townhouse we rented until
we found a house that suited us. |

The apartment's living room. Quite a change from the old homestead!
(And yes, we like to keep an extra door
handy, in case of emergencies :-) It's the door to the basement
that the movers removed to get access) |

Not a bad view out of our back door. The apt's situated in
the lower Boise foothills, and it's just a walk out the back
to hiking in the hills. |
This
is a panoramic view of the "park" (as the kids call
it) in our apartment. Warning: The picture is fairly big
(180K) -- but it's nifty! |
Harcourt
House  |

Our last home, before we sold it. The photo's from just when
we were moving in (Alexa wasn't born yet). |

The
first Highland House  |
This was taken by a friend Ilene, who lived"just
down the way" from us. That's my previous house
at the "end of the rainbow."

This is a view of Downtown Boise from the top of "Hulls
Gulch".
If you look closely (and have a great imagination) you
can see the Capitol Building near the center)
|
And this is a view of the Boise foothills, just above
the area known as "Hulls Gulch"
