Idaho waterfalls

We are on a trip thru Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Washington and Oregon. These are pictures of some Idaho waterfalls.

Shoshone Falls is among the most spectacular of natural beauties along the Snake River. At 212 feet, the falls are higher than Niagara Falls.

Idaho Falls in the city of the same name is created by a man-made diversion dam used for hydroelectric power. Before the dam was created, this was just a bunch of small rapids. Now, the Snake River makes a drop of about 20 ft. or so over a width of 1200 ft.

Lake Tahoe Views

Joan and I recently spent the weekend at Lake Tahoe to watch Bob Newhart's show on the one day he was appearing at Harrah's South Shore Room. Stayed at a hotel on the shores of the lake and the following pictures are views from the hotel beach and the pier. These short trips are a great way to get away from it all.

Be sure to scroll around to get the full view after you click on the picture.

Harrah's and Harvey's Clubs across the lake.

These are not rubber duckys!

A few Monterey peninsula scenes.

This is the requisite shot of the lone cypress tree on the 17-mile drive. Several million pictures have probably been taken by now.

Following are some of the sheep at Mission Ranch, which is owned by Clint Eastwood. You can rent rooms in the bunkhouse or stay in several of the old farm buildings.

Carmel & Monterey flowers

Spring is a wonderful time of the year to visit the Monterey peninsula in California. The flowers that bloom by the ocean are gorgeous.

Edgemere Cottages

This is Piccadilly cottage where we stayed in Carmel-by-the Sea. It is part of the Edgemere cottages property and was built in 1912. The owner grew up here, left home for 20 years, and then returned to manage and update the property. It will be beautiful when they finish all of the renovations in a year or so. It is one block from the beach.

This is Magenta, one of 2 resident cats. We only saw the other one once. Magenta likes to come in and visit the guests.

Yard ornaments are scattered about the property. I didn't ask where they came from.
