More from Zoo Boise’s collection of exotic animals…plus some not-so-exotic animals, like llamas. (If you missed part I, check it out here.)

In the Land of the Panorama
October 12, 2011 Landscapes, Travel 1 Comment
It doesn’t matter how wide a lens you own. Sometimes when you’re faced with a gorgeous expansive vista, just one shot won’t capture the scene…and that’s where panoramas come in. I used to try to “stitch” all my panoramic shots together by hand to create the final product, but after experimenting with Photoshop’s automated Photomerge feature a couple weeks ago, I went back and redid some of my favorite collections. Enjoy (make sure to click the panoramas to see the large versions and get the full effect), and keep an eye out for part two!

Feeling Fall-ish
October 4, 2011 Landscapes, Nature No Comment
I don’t know what it’s like elsewhere in the northern hemisphere, but here in Boise, we’re finally getting a taste of autumn weather, trading clear skies and 90 degrees for showers and a nip in the air. In honor of the shift, here’s a collection of some decidedly fall-ish photos! Enjoy, and keep an eye out for lots of new colorful leaf images as Idaho starts to admit that summer just might be over.
Autumn in Stanley
October 2, 2011 Landscapes, Nature 2 Comments
You’d think that with a population of 100, people would get bored with the town of Stanley, Idaho, pretty quickly. But that would only be if the people were the main attraction. Enjoy some of my favorite shots from last week’s sojourn in the mountain wilderness, and keep an eye out for part II!
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.
On your mark, get set...
