Fire and Ice

Imagine sitting in a 100-degree hot spring while icicles hang sharply from the poolside furniture an arm's reach away.


A full moon rises in the east as vacationing couples chat about their last skiing or white-water rafting trip.



A hoppin band plays as a roomful of contra dancers fill the floor for hours at a time.


To top it off, homemade lasagna, granola, and desserts fill your belly. That was my weekend in Lava Hot Springs, ID, for the annual contra dance weekend. I was so busy dancing, I didn't take any other pictures besides these ones at the springs!
