The other day I was down by the Snake River and I found this crane. I believe that it is a Heron. I especially like the reflection off the water.
It was a good day because the Heron had a friend along side.
I will admit that this next picture isn't the greatest but I thought I would include it for those who like to play "guess the bird" would appreciate it.
I also had the chance to go out to a local historical site, Register Rock. Just like in the days of the Oregon Trail it is an oasis from the sagebrush covered desert.
The reason that it is named Register Rock is the large boulder that travelers etched their names into as they passed by moving further westward.
During that time one artist, J.J. Hansen, carved the image of a preacher and an Indian chief. the images were actually buried and no one knew they were there until Hansen returned to review his work at which time he dated the carvings a second time.
Register Rock is one of those hidden gems that are off of the highways and byways that if you ever have a chance to visit, you wont be disappointed.
Here are a couple of local monuments that are unique to American Falls.
The Power County Grain Growers no long own this silo complex but the sign is a signal of the county's past.
Finally the Snake River Plain produce some enviable sunsets
