Riverside Flooding

The worst of it

They got midway and decided it was too deep so I carried them both. They liked that.

Compelled

A traditional part of spring in Boise.

Underwater beaches

Laughing and jumping in puddles

Trails become small canals

Surely a troll lives in there

Imaginations were in high gear.

Bramble colors

Keeping an eye on her

Soapbox

Fun with sticks and stones

Queen of the hill

Trusty steed

Cottonwood sunset

Warming up to the idea

Women and children first

Shoulders of giants

Safely across

Locked out

Can I walk across?

The path is still flooded by the high river. She figured her new sandals would keep her dry.

Dividing line

Water is flowing from the river across the path to a pond.

The temperature drops

Watch what you eat

Good to the last drop

Leaving a mark

She told me that people would recognize this as her work (not exactly those words).

Can we go the park now?

The beginning of a tantrum.

You don't hear the crying

She was in her trailer having a fit (like many movie stars, I expect) after I told her it was too late to visit the park.
