This spring, I showed you Heidi & Bryce’s adorable engagements photos we shot in Kathryn Albertson Park. Today, let’s take a look at their July wedding portraits. Keep an eye out for photos from their reception in a future post!
I’m not much of a morning person. So when I heard how early I’d have to wake up for the sunrise Spirit of Boise hot air balloon launch at Ann Morrison Park earlier this month, I was dubious. The lost sleep turned out to be worthwhile, though: who could argue with fire and spaceships and bright colors? If you didn’t manage to make it out there, here’s a look at what you missed…and maybe next year you’ll be inspired to brave the early wake-up call yourself!
Council, Idaho, has an unusual 4th of July tradition. Flags, parades, barbecues, and fireworks? Too mainstream. But add in a porcupine race, and you’ve got yourself an event that attracts visitors from as far away as Canada (which is actually not that far away…).
The treatment of the porcupine stars of the day is questionable. Not only are the nocturnal creatures bound to be traumatized by their temporary captivity and a release from garbage cans into a sunny arena surrounded by loud humans, but the rule that the porcupines are to be guided with brooms–not touched!–isn’t strictly enforced.
But say what you will: it’s certainly a unique way to celebrate the 4th.
