This fountain is part of the driving range of Wandermere Golf Course about a mile from my morning coffee site. Wandemere is a public golf course of l8 holes with three lakes and a the Little Spokane River as hazards. These new houses look out on the driving range and the club house. The huge brown hill-like area behind will be the roadway for a new Spokane by-pass from US395 to Interstate 90. Funding is tight for this 2.1 billion dollar project whose completion date has not been established. It is likely to be many years away.

We were at Higgins Point, Idaho, on this very rainy day trying to see the seasonal Eagles who come here to fish. You can see one circling for something to eat. Higgins Point is at the end of the North Idaho Centennial Trail. It has a nice picnic area with a volleyball net, horseshoe pit, and covered picnic tables. I like the mood of the shot which for me matches the dreary day. I may have left it a bit too dark.

Yesterday's picture of the wheels under Frank's Diner obviously makes one wonder when will we get
to see inside Franks. This was shot at a much less busy time than normal when this counter is filled with individuals. Beyond are 2 and 4 person booths plus a large table at the rear for larger groups. Frank's Diner has won 'best breakfast' in Spokane for a number of years running. A visit in the morning usually requires a wait to be seated, but is well worth the wait!

Sunday morning I took my grandson, Luke, to breakfast at Franks. 'All aboard for breakfast! A favorite Spokane breakfast spot is housed in a 1906 railroad car diner. Car #680 was artfully restored with a center grill cooking 18,000 eggs a month and a long counter where in true diner style, your coffee cup is never empty!' This shot is of one of the set of wheels under the diner. A black and white version can be seen here.

I found it interesting that this major blow to the glass didn't shatter it. I liked the spidery lines and knew I had to get a shot of it.

A sunset over five mile prairie, a unique 500ft (152.4m) high bluff that was named because of its location - approximately five miles (8k) from the center of Spokane.

A pair of sneakers carelessly parked for the night... sure to result in the morning queston of 'where are my shoes?'
