On her Facebook wall, Linda Lantzy/Idaho Scenic Image asks a question that I've wondered about: “Would someone explain Pinterest to me, from a photographer standpoint. I made an account a month ago, put up 1 photo and never went back. I get lots of notifications of people following me. An internet search today found a bunch of my images there, hijacked from all over the place. Most are watermarked and I dont care. Should I be using this site? I have no interest in making pinboards of food, clothes, decorating, etc. Why are people following me? I don't understand it.”

Question: Anyone care to explain Pinterest from a non-photographic point of view?

“This morning's view of Coeur d'Alene Idaho from across Cougar Bay at 7 degrees,” tweets Linda Lantzy/Idaho Scenic Photos. “First lesson of the day~ Always put on the packpack. I really needed to shoot on bulb for this, but had left my remote in my backpack the Jeep. So, I bumped the ISO to 400 (something I hate doing), opened the aperature to f/7.1 (doable since I didn't need much depth for this shot), and still had a 25 second exposure.” More of Linda's work on her Facebook wall here.

On her Facebook wall, Linda Lantzy/Idaho Scenic Images posted this second photo of North Idaho autumn that she snapped a week ago in the Wolf Lodge area: “The Road to Yesterday.” Remember … Linda's “The Essence of North Idaho” show at Hayden City Hall is in its last week.

“After a near torturous day of editing a weekend assignment,” writes Linda Lantzy of Idaho Scenic Images, “I had to get out of the office last night. This is from the dike road of Hayden Lake. Sadly, I have little photography of this lake, because there is very limited shoreline access.” See more of Linda's photography here.

Question: Do you spend much time on Hayden Lake?

“In the center of this image is a barn, to the left in the trees, is an old house,” posts Linda Lantzy on her Idaho Scenic Images Facebook wall. “I thought I was pretty isolated as a kid. At least we could see our neighbors' house across the valley. Coyote Canyon, northeast of Lewiston.”

“(Tuesday's) mix of sun and snow continued into the evening but the wind died down and made for a nice walk along the lake,” posts Linda Lantzy of Idaho Scenic Images on her Facebook wall. “This is the Silver Beach Marina.”

Question: Do you have a favorite water-side spot for your strolls?

On her Idaho Scenic Images Facebook page, photographer Linda Lantzy has posted her 12 favorite photographs of 2011, including this one taken at Mount Shuksan in the northern Cascades. She writes of this photo: “I had an October morning at Mt. Shuksan for a couple of hours all to myself. There had been a light overnight snowfall, huckleberries were ripe, views were amazing, atmosphere was spectacular, and silence was grand.” You can see her other favorites here.

This photo of Linda Lantzy's at Idaho Scenic Images isn't exactly Food Porn because you don't see a Hudson hamburger in the photo. But I bet it makes your mouth water.

Question: When did you last eat at Hudson's?

On her Idaho Scenic Images Facebook page, Linda Lantzy posts the photo above and this cutline information: “On the way to dinner tonight, I detoured out to Wolf Lodge Bay. The sun only lines up across the bay during a few weeks in spring and fall. Looks like I almost missed it this year.”

At Idaho Scenic Images, Linda Lantzy posts under this spectacular photo: “(Sunday’s) sunset over Lake Pend Oreille. This is a ‘new to me’ spot that I think the morning light would be great at. So I guess I’ll be going back…”

I’ve wanted to post this terrific photo by Linda Lantzy/Idaho Scenic Images since I first saw it last week. Post Linda: “It felt good to get out tonight. It seems like it’s been awhile. Just a little pink sky over the lake.”

I’m not exactly sure where this Idaho Scenic Images photo by Linda Lantzy was taken. Mebbe far northeastern corner of Washington state. She calls it “Big Muddy.” Remember, you can a collection of Linda’s photos tonight at Angel Gallery during the Artwalk in downtown Coeur d’Alene. Tell her that Huckleberries Online sent you.

On her Idaho Scenic Images Facebook page, photographer Linda Lantzy writes re: this photo: ” If you guys had any idea what I go through for some of these shots…As usual tonight I was racing the sun, waded through loads of thistle plants, tumbled down the river bank, stopped inches from a very large splash in the river. Only got off a few shots before the sun was gone. Now I must excuse myself to go remove a few thorns.” Linda’s work will be displayed at Angel Gallery tomorrow night as part of the downtown’s monthly Artwalk.

Linda Lantzy/Idaho Scenic Images has posted a number of new photos from around the Inland Northwest on her blog, including the one above, which she labels as “Pre-storm color on the Spokane River.” The entire posting is titled, “A very wet spring.”
