A view of the Boise river

It's fall for sure.

I can just imagine a bear strolling out of the trees in this shot

Oh, I hope not. We get mountain lions from time to time. Wolves tend to be a bit shyer, but I've seen one standing in the middle of the road staring at me as I was driving. Foxes, yeah, we get those running around frequently. The most likely thing? Mule deer.

It's funny... sort of. So many people from other countries are scared stiff of roaming around Aussie because of the things that can kill you here. Yes we have things like the worlds top ten most venomous snakes, the worlds most venomous spider, the worlds most venomous jellyfish (one of the worlds most venomous creatures overall), deadly shellfish, big sharks, and a variety of plants that you don't want to play with. Yet, aside from big sharks and the odd pack of Dingo's, we aren't actually prey for much here. But over there... various big cats, dogs and bear are happy to feed on the unsuspecting hiker or camper. I'm more afraid of those than what we have around here
