Road Trip

Wordful Wednesday 

A few pictures from our recent road trip from our place in Abbotsford out to Medicine Hat in Alberta. These photos were taken while driving through Roger's Pass, the road up and over the Rocky Mountain pass. A fresh snowfall the evening before made the roads very slippery and dangerous with ice and snow. 

 

I just know that this is not the way to park your 18 Wheel Semi. We slid a bit on a patch of ice just before rounding the corner and coming upon this accident. 

This pass was one of the areas that I was scared to travel through.

Winter in these areas of B.C. are a dangerous time for travelling or road trips.

 

We made it to our destination in one piece, thanks to my Hubby who is an awesome driver n any kind of road condition. Left to my own devices I would of flown out rather than drive!!

 

 

Peaceful Waters

Wait for it, Wait for it....

It gets better!!

Time moves on.



One of our favorite rainy day places to go and spend a day at is Granny and Grampa's Antique Barn. Recently one of their huge barns burned almost to the ground so we went out on a sunny day to see how bad the damage was. You can see some of the charred remains in the background of the photo, looking through the spokes of the old wheel hanging on the side of another one of thier barns.

Photos preserve memory of things that have come before. Eventually the remains of this barn will be bulldozed down and probably a new Barn built. This wheel no longer does its day labour but it is preserved for me to see.

I have been seriously ignoring this blog lately since we started our home renovations and it shows! Hardly any pictures this month, and honestly my camera hardly has been out of the case lately. Now most of the renos are done, and the place is mostly put back together again so its time to get some creative juices flowing and feed my soul!

This is a Spring photo I took in Chilliwack, B.C. The snow is melting late this year and combined with record rainfalls we have some serious water in the Fraser River. I have not seen the river this high in years. One of my co-workers got a flood evacuation notice yesterday to be prepared to leave her home at a moments notice. Kind of scary.

Hell has no fury like that of Mother Nature!
