We made an unexpected trip to Utah for a funeral. A sad and a happy occasion, an opportunity to express love and remember a dear soul. On the way home we decided that we needed to take a couple more days. We realized that anything resembling "time off" was going to be hard to come by this year so we dawdled on the way home. It was a beautiful dawdle.
Our first dawdling stop was Shoshone Falls in Idaho. We had stopped there for the first time about a year ago and were chagrined that we had never stopped here before. The top two pictures are from this year, showing the snow melt of a record year finding its way downstream along the Snake River. This is one of the stops for the same water that flooded the Hancock cabin.
This picture was from mid-July in 2010, Quite a difference. Last year there were kayaks down below the falls. This year you couldn't see the bottom of the falls for the mist. Last year many rocks were bare; this year water covered the extent of the roaring falls.
