North Fork of Payette winter morning

With all of the heat we are experiencing in southern Idaho this week, I thought maybe something with a little snow might be nice. This is a favorite spot I have just upstream of the Payette from Payette Lake's north shore. I spent a couple of hours taking pictures at this spot on this morning, and this is the one I liked the best. I was standing on a little island in the river that was covered with snow. It was not very big, as a matter of fact I had to be careful not to step into the river. This image was a winner in a photo competition in McCall last year. They put it in the McCall Papers calendar for 2014.
