It seems lately that I often find myself driving along past incredible scenery on my way here and there, to and fro. Sometimes, like yesterday, I just have to stop the car and take a picture! I'm not sure what this body of water is, but it is somewhere near Cataldo, Idaho, just north of I-90. My teenage son Derek and I were taking a little day trip to Mullan and back, to take photos for a BPO. It seemed like a good excuse for a pleasant afternoon in the mountains, seeing some touristy sights. That's how I happened to be driving along this beautiful spot.
I am going to go back later this summer when the gazillions of pussy willows are in bloom, or whatever it is you call what pussy willows do. What a beautiful world we live in, and how blessed I am to call North Idaho home!

Janna, this is a beautiful picture! So serene and so perfectly summer!
Hi Janna, between you and Kent, I am dying to go to Idaho. Such a beautiful picture you took.
It is a beautiful picture. I have never been to your home state and hope to visit some day. I love Pussy Willows and look forward to your pictures of them doing their thing.
Morning Janna, WOW, what a fantastic view you had! Mountains and lakes are my idea of heaven, oh yeah.
Janna, Nice that you took the time to enjoy your environment. Looks like a Chamber of Commerce picture. Fun you could take your son to work that day.
Wow Janna! I have Aunts and Uncles, and cousins in Idaho...I have never been, what a beautiful state! Thanks for sharing!
Janna, You live in a beautiful area. I had an Uncle that use to live up that way. He was a helicopter pilot and did a lot of work for the department of the interior.
Janna,
This is a beautiful area. I am going to be in Couer d' Alene in the next couple of weeks to visit my Mom! She lives in the Post Falls area. I am looking forward to it it has been about 15 years. I hear the area has really grown.

Janna....I feel more calm and relaxed just looking at your beautiful photo. I need to get in the habit of bringing by camera with and snapping more photos of the desert. Thanks for the inspiration!
Wow, the solitude of this photo is incredible. Thanks for sharing a moment of peace!
Hi Janna
One of the greatest thing about Active Rain is the photos from around the country. It is wonderful to share in the beauty of the different places throughout the states. Talking about them, making them personal...well a tourist travel guide could never add that personal touch of living there. No wonder we all want to visit. This is a beautiful photo Thanks so much
Janna, that's the southern fork of the Coeur d'Alene River as it rambles towards Lake Coeur d'Alene. Where we float in the summer is the North Fork of the same river. For all of you who've never been to Idaho I invite you to bookmark OnLocation North Idaho, http://fyinorthidaho.blogspot.com
Hi Janna, What an absolutely awesome photo! Looks like a beautiful state. Nice post.
