Memorial Day weekend was a great time to get out and walk the greenbelt. The flowers and trees were blooming.

The geese were showing off their new babies.

The falls are a little high with the spring runoff, and the rapids are beautiful. Much different than when they were frozen!

Crossing has a wonderful fountain in the middle of a turn about with wildlife, and an eagle. Idaho Falls was was originally called Taylor's crossing, and then the name change to Eagle Rock. More the history can be found in an earlier blog I wrote about the history of the falls.

The greenbelt can be enjoyed from the many hotels in the area.

Come and visit sometime!

Well... here it is, the eve of May 1st and we are at 32 degrees with the ground covered in snow. I have been putting off pulling out my camera because of this horrendous winter/spring we have had. © 2009 Jeff Fullmer

I am ready for the shutterbug to bite, I hope the lingering cold/snow does not chase it away. So I pulled out the camera to see what would happened.

I have photography in my blood but have never really explored it.

Reading (and seeing) pictures others have posted on AR has inspired me deeply. Thanks to all those who share.

I recently read a blog on whether it was spring yet in our area by Glenda and Steven McDaniel. I work in Utah and live in Idaho. I was home a couple weeks ago and thought I would take a picture of the falls in spring. If you can call it spring because it was cold, windy, and there was a chance of snow. I also thought it would be a good time to add a few pictures, from 2002, of what the falls look like in the winter when, at times, they freeze. Very pretty. Later, in a future blog, I will have to show you pictures of how beautiful Idaho Falls looks in the summer.

For more history on the falls my other blog. They mentioned that they would like this site to be more about technology so I left the history out on this site.

Last night was our monthly event for the Young Professionals Networking group. It was held in O'Callahan's Restaurant inside The Shilo. We had a great turn out, about double the amount that showed up last time.

There was a brief educational insight, (presented by this months sponsor: Intelligent Employment Solutions), on how to higher the right employees. Most the night was spent socializing and having a great time getting to know other young professionals in the area.

This has been our 4th event for the newly sprung group.
