It’s been cold and icy here lately. So these are from the archives. Above is the River Parks amphitheater from several years back. It was demolished and removed years ago. I never saw anything there but back in the day they had lots of concerts there. The old timers talk about it a lot.
This is from several years back. The Arkansas River during a period of low water.
This is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints Temple in Idaho Falls, Idaho. It sits adjacent to the Snake River. It may be the prettiest building I’ve ever seen.
This is this morning (Thursday). The pups slipping and sliding on the back patio coming from their morning potty break. They also like to chase the squirrels and update their barkbook status with our neighboring dogs.
We finally turned the fireplace on last night. LJ the Cat and Abby appreciated it.
Heather and I finally got our fancy drawer and cabinet pulls on in the kitchen the past couple days. I think they look nice with our repainted cabinets and new floors.
So my doctor prescribed a regimen of exercise involving both stretching and strengthening of my backs and legs after my recent whining about back pain. It has helped tremendously. I’ve also restarted yoga classes and resistance training at our gym. A friend of Heather’s told her about the Silver Sneakers videos on youtube and we tried them. They are great!! They are kind of oriented toward the older crowd but they have quite a range from like beginning chair yoga to some challenging Pilates workouts. And they are free!!! You don’t have to join anything or sign up for anything. If you have youtube you can access these. So we have been doing some of these at home and they really help.
That is it for this week. Stay safe everybody!!
I am linking with Skywatch Friday
I need to exercise more – the pandemic has me sitting way too much. Love the shot of the old amphitheatre – beautiful. I agree the LSD temple is lovely. Hope you have a great weekend.
…number2 is the winner for me! Thanks for hosting and take care.
I just got back from walking. It was hard today – hard to get myself out and hard to keep going. I guess some days are just like that. Thanks for the exercise link. I like your cabinets, floors, and pulls. Have a great weekend.
wow, the sky in the second shot is really stunning. 🙂 Love it!
Beautiful skies there.
I’m pretty good about getting out and walking, but really bad at doing other exercises. Like you, I have chronic back pain. Anyway, great photos. Nice to see the animals have their spots claimed in front of the fireplace!
Do you think the ampitheatre will be open again at some point or is it closed because of Covid?
Shame that the ampitheatre is gone. Looked like a great place for music. Cats do like it warm now don´t they?
Amazing skies. Loved the post.
Be Safe. Happy Weekend.
Move over LJ.
Thanks for hosting this blog and for the tip about exercising with Silver Sneakers for FREE on YouTube. I will check this out. I like the new floors and painted cabinet plus new pulls. Great job with all the photos this week. Stay safe.
Idaho has lot pretty country. I’m only about 30 miles from Canada. Although can’t say much about it politics.
Super cold last few days.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Stunning collection
Alan – spectacular photos from your archives! And I have seen the temple at Idaho Falls, just this past October – coming to a post soon!
Beautiful selection from the archives. Stunning sky shots. Happy Valentine’s Day. Stay warm and stay safe.
The church is a stately building indeed.
Gorgeous sky shots. Your cabinets look great and your pets look like they are enjoying the fire. Happy Friday.
Cold and icy it may be, but your skies are grand and dramatic. Adorable fur babies too.
Nice to see the fire. We’re pretty cold today.
Those furbabies look content!
That river sky shot is spectacular.
Great archive shots ~ and ice is never fun ~ sweet photo of your doggie ~ they seem to know how to deal with the ice ~ Love your doggie ~ ^_^

Impressive reflections! Good luck with the workout challenge!
Silver Sneakers, I thought, was something you could only get with certain Medicare plans, and, apparently, I’m not on one of them. I am happy to know I can get it on You Tube as I have their app on my Roku. I am going to be doing some memory posts, perhaps in March as we approach the first anniversary of the lockdown. Your second photo had such drama – I think that was my favorite – except for your cat in front of the fireplace.
Seems the weather you’ve been freezing from is hitting here tomorrow. Hope it leaves quickly.
Great looking skies and water. Have a good weekend.
LJ and Abby look very cozy in front of the fire. Thanks for sharing these photos and the video. Glad the exercises are helping. I
concerts on the stage in the river must have been a blast. would love to take some night photos of the event. bookmarked Silver Sneakers to try out their exercises.
Seems like the majority of the country is in a deep freeze this weekend. I don’t know how people in the north can stand these sub zero temperatures. It’s so depressing when you have to stay inside all the time because it’s too cold to go outside. I guess I picked a good week for knee surgery.
I miss the greenbelt in Idaho Falls and the temple. I put in a lot of miles down there. I will always miss the Christmas Eve walks down there with Irv, our kids, and even Bob. I think he thought we were crazy.
Stay warm!
