Saturday Drive

Saturday morning we headed for a craft show in the museum.  Then we decided to go for a drive, even though the day was dull and rain threatened.  This time we headed east to Thornbury, and eventually made a large loop down into the valley to Kimberley, and home again.

The waves were rolling in from the northeast, and rain was starting to spatter the windshield.

You could easily see the ski runs at Georgian Peaks.

Then the iphone refocussed on the windshield, but the rain didn't last..

All the sailboats are out of the water, waiting for next season.

The boulders protecting nearby houses are covered in ice.

The diehard fishermen continue to hope for a bite.

We followed the geese south out of town toward the valley.

  8. Hi Stew- Glad to see you are doing fairly well, and enjoy getting out and sharing beautiful pictures of the things you find. I love the first one, and the raindrops on the windshield are just perfect.

  10. Yes it's quite the spate of weird weather we have been having alright. I think any drive in the countryside is special. Haven't taken many photos with my phone, I find it awkward to handle. Nice raindrops on your windshield and where do fishermen get all that stamina to sit outside in cold wet weather like that. Only fishing I ever do is in the super market when I pick up a box of 'fish sticks'.

  12. That would be a cold fishing trip, much different than fishing in spring or summer.
