Last weekend Rick and I went to the Thousand Springs Festival near Hagerman, ID. We waited all year for it because last year we just happened to find it -- but at closing time. This is a small festival, but the art is nice (watercolors, photos, baskets, leather works, sculptures, glass, etc) and they have live music and food. Our favorite exhibit was the slightly disturbing metal sculptures of http://www.artisan-forge.com/sculptures.html.
The festival is held at the Thousand Springs Preserve, which is a spectacular place where springs (thousands of them, really!) gush out from the cliffsides. These are some of the larger springs. It was so windy that day, the water was blowing back up the cliff!
My favorite part is where the spring water gathers into a creek that runs through the middle of the festival. The water is the clearest I have ever seen. There are green plants growing underwater that glow when the sunlight hits them.
