I don't remember a more stunning #autumn in #Idaho.

Everyone agrees that life is beautiful, and we all accept that it is fragile. But do we always remember how interconnected we are? How everything we do touches other people's lives and echoes far away, in other places?
If we do not, perhaps we should!

The weather is shifting here in the Wood River Valley. The birds & squirrels sense the ‘Winter is Coming’ message & they are busy prepping for the big event. I still have some hummingbirds, but the population has decreased significantly.
I will sure miss my tiniest friends. #birds #FeatheredFriday

Sharing another photo from my little garden. This sweet guy - a black-headed grosbeak - will come to my window & tap on the glass. He is so friendly & curious. I'm going to miss him this winter - the weather is definitely shifting here in the Wood River Valley. I hope he comes back in the spring.

Just now … as the grape jelly ran out… this gal tapped on my window to remind me of my incompetence. #birds #orioles #idaho

It is truly impossible to capture the beauty of Silver Creek in #Idaho. But, here are my two best tries from today.

We are having a wintery and snowy morning here in the Wood River Valley, #Idaho.
The hungry, little #hummingbirds are all over my garden.
I was lucky enough to capture this photo of three feeding at once on one of my feeders. Sweet moment of time.

Yesterday’s afternoon hike out the Hyndman trail was full of stunning wildflowers—and, of course, my cute little Scout tagging along. Grateful heart for our public lands here in beautiful and wild #Idaho.

The little bee hummingbird heard her name and gave it everything she had—as she tried out for the choir. #Idaho #birds #hummingbird
