Walks through downtown Boise

Many years, it's been, since I spent a May day in Boise. On Thursday, I drove downtown to see what I could see before meeting up with a lovely long-time friend.

Tulips! Blowing sideways.

And that grand old landmark, the Idanha.

The scene of one leg of said lovely long-time friend's 21-run : the Cactus Bar. Long may it reside in that special place in my heart saved for memories of my youth when I had a fondness for candy-sweet drinks.

Saturday morning I returned with parents in tow for the City Market down 8th Street. I never get tired of thoughfully displayed and locally grown fruits and veggies.

This is what Wall-E might look like if he were playing Elizabeth Taylor playing Cleopatra.

Sweet harmonica guy.

And my sweet mom, proving that these are the times to bring out the ol' fanny pack!  You just can't go wrong.
