Eye On Boise

In praise of September weekends…

The leaves are starting to turn, the days vary between summer-warm and fall-crisp, and Boise’s had a pretty darn gorgeous September so far. Not only that, the weekends in particular have been spectacular.

From the trails of Bogus Basin to the foliage of the Greenbelt, from a bright harvest moon slowly setting in the early morning to a spectacular sunset painting the evening sky, from the colorful, annual hot-air balloon spectacle to live local music to late-season windsurfing at Lucky Peak as the sun rises for another day, they’ve been great for me. Hope they have for you, too.
