todays walk, 12-02-17

Another afternoon walk down on McTucker creek and American Falls reservoir river bottoms.  Not too much to see.

 The sky is falling,   well at least a feather  or two.

 The reservoir is rising.

 Two weeks ago these plants were above the water line.

During high water this plant in the foreground is totally under water.

 Pounding sea.

 big waves

 Sea splash

Scuzzy sea foam.



American Falls dam 11-09-01

Some pictures taken of the American Falls Dam on the Snake River at American Falls, Idaho.  Last September.

 Behind this fence is the tunnel they used to divert the river around the construction when they built the dam.

There are two of these tunnels, at one time you could walk into them quite a ways, I am not sure where they actually start.  The outlets are just a little way below the dam

The old power house structure.  The dam and everything around here was rebuilt, and raise higher at least once.

About a half mile downstream of the dam and falls.



Vicinity Arco 11-08-29

Here are some pictures taken in the vicinity of Arco and Moore Idaho last August.

 Part of the Big Lost River

 Old beaver slide, obsolete hay stacking.

Sheep



picture backlog from 11-09-10

Working on my backlog of pictures these from september at Cape Perpetua on the Oregon seacoast.

Not sure the total time of this sequence, the camera records the time it files the picture not the time it is taken.  It was 5 seconds between first and last file, but the camera took them at about the rate of three pictures a second.



old Montana stuff 12-02-11

Had to kill a few minutes around Dillon Montana today, so took a short drive up Blacktail Road.  Took a few pictures of an old Ranch.

 old barn

 not quite as old barn

 maybe a bunk house

This might be one of those Blacktail's that gave the road it's name.

(I am home tonight)

Miscellaneous stuff 12-02-04~06

Just some miscellaneous pictures hanging around in the pictures library in the folder waiting to be posted to the blog.  Nothing important or even interesting.

 The canal river check dam along the blackfoot green belt.  I always take a picture just to keep track of the river flow.

 Been going to take a picture of ""Martha" since the EISF when she was in a bikini in the parade.

 A couple of old buildings in Richfield, Idaho.  This little town has been here a long time.

It is amazing how many lava rock buildings they made way back in the early days.  Even more amazing is how they managed to get them so nice and flat.



more of Saturday walk 12-02-04

The rest of the pictures I took on the Saturday afternoon walk a couple of days ago.

 McTucker creek.

Cattle feeding and watering on McTucker Creek.
