Sandpoint, Idaho Beauty

Walking is something that my Dad likes to do, so we walked miles every day. Along the roads there are many beautiful things to see. These first two pictures show the wild sweet peas, called Australian Sweet Peas, that are blooming all over.

These sweet peas multiply every year, and the land looks like one huge bouquet! It's amazing what Mother Nature can do!

Lake Pend Oreille (pronounced ponder-ay) is close by and this picture shows a slough looking north from the road, very close to my Dad's house. The water really is flat, it's just an optical illusion that it is tilted (see, the trees are straight up!).

This picture shows another slough, across the street from the previous one, and not connected, looking south from the road. It's hard to see, but there are masses of sweet peas here, too. The weather was great (76' last Thursday), with one thunderstorm thrown in for good measure! I was able to get pictures of a few gardens and will be sharing them soon.
