Spring has finally arrived in Idaho Falls where I live and we have no snow--finally! Well ok the mountains are still snowpacked, but we here in the valley are starting to green up and the trees and bushes are starting to bud. Not too long before we'll see flowers!
This afternoon my 11 year old daughter and I and our dog Boomer decided to get out and enjoy the nice day, so we headed to the Greenbelt, which is where the Snake River runs through town..........

The falls in Idaho Falls--hence the name. The Greenbelt has a walking path approx 5 miles long and since the weather was so nice today we decided we should take a walk and yes we walked the entire Greenbelt. Great exercise and beautiful scenery even if we did get rained on for just a minute or two.
More of the falls, which are used to generate energy for the local electric company.......
...a beautiful Canadian Goose who was kind enough to pose long enough that I could snap a picture. The Greenbelt is full of these geese, wild ducks of various kinds and seagulls. It's a fun family outing to go and feed all the ducks, geese and seagulls. You'll also find plenty of dogs, bike riders, roller bladers, walkers, joggers and boaters.
A view from not quite the halfway mark from where we started. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints temple in the background with the mountains beyond......
....and another view of the falls from the opposite end. Lots of pretty scenery, no matter which way you go. And that is what we did with our Saturday afternoon.
