Idaho's State Capitol

I spent the day exploring Boise, starting with an excellent guided tour of the Idaho State Capitol. The building's marble columns, enormous dome and natural light made it a fascinating place to photograph. After lunch at Funky Taco, I visited the Idaho State Museum, where exhibits on nuclear research, agriculture, technology and Idaho history kept me occupied for several hours. Along the way, I enjoyed unexpected conversations with fellow visitors and learned a few things about places I had already visited during my travels through Idaho. I finished the afternoon photographing wildlife at Kathryn Albertson Park, where the quiet ponds, wildflowers and unusual encounters with people made for an enjoyable evening.
