Roadtrip part 2

 

Skywatch Friday 

These photos were taken this week on our road trip to Alberta from our home in Western B.C. They were taken out the car window while travelling 50 miles an hour down the road and all are straight out of the camera. No opportunity to straighten that crooked horizon!

 

 

I had to duck and dodge my Hubby while he was driving and try not to distract his concentration on the road. The roads were slushy and slippery with built up compact snow patches so he needed to keep his focus on the road!

 

It was a cloudy day and occasional snowflakes coming down. 

 

The water was still and calm, making the reflections in the lake almost mirror-like.

 

This area is between Salmon Arm and Sicamous in the interior of B.C.

 

We arrived safely at our destination and I have a lot more pictures to show over the next few days. Who knows, maybe seeing some of these photos will make you put visiting B.C. one of the things to do on your bucket list!!!

It is a gorgeous country!

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!!

 

 

Wordful Wednesday

Very sad to say goodbye to my little buddy, KC. today. I am going to miss her smiles, her standing in her chair with excitement when I walked into the room, her blowing kisses and her Hugs. She taught me so much in a short time, my life is forever enriched to have had her in my life. She's running in heaven now, and the pain she lived with is ours to hold now. She always asked me "what am I doing today?" and I know today she is happy and at peace. Go in love KC, and don't worry about us.

An Angel got her Wings Today.

I hope you are not getting tired of ice crystals!

This is the park bench in park behind our house.

 

 

 

Today's Flowers

A hint of frost...

 

And a hint of color.

 

I am needing this winter frosty thing to get it over and done with in the next few days. While it is pretty to see and fun to photograph our move at the end of next week is going to be more challenging with it. So I am giving it until the end of the weekend to smarten up! 

Like it is going to listen to me!!!

 

 

Oh, the joy of being cold!!

 

Pretty to behold, 

Oh so cold!

 

 

Frozen Water that is!

 

Everything is super frosty. The roads are skating rinks, the puddles are frozen, the leaves are covered in frost. Its cold cold cold! 

The Weatherman threatens snow and it does try but mostly its icy fog and tiny frozen rain pellets. 

It kind of looks like a dusting of sugar granules stuck to this leaf! 

 

 

Its been a while since I posted some pics of my cats. Their whole world is being turned upside down right now while we pack all our house belongings and grow the huge stack of boxes here and there and everywhere, getting ready for our move in two weeks. They don't know what to make of it all.

The look on Scarf's face right here is to tell me I am getting a bit too close for her comfort with that camera of mine!

 

Both cats love to sleep on top of the dryer when I am drying clothes. The warmth of the dryer and the noise of it are probably warming and comforting to them.

 

They won't even sit on the dryer unless it is working. 

Speed is our oldest cat at 14 years of age. 

Scarf is our youngest cat at 2 years of age. 

Both cats were rescue kitties. They are each a bit crazy and have some crazy behaviors but we love them dearly! 

Have a great weekend, everyone!
