All in a Day’s Drive

We rose early for the trip from the still barren prairies, back to the coast.  The snow is beaten and beginning to recede..P1100273P1100278

It’s a beautiful day for driving…

This wayside water lies so still we had to stop for  pictures…

There were few just a few other stops…

 

P1100305 a lot of curves,

P1100306 … a lot of miles (625 of them)

and suddenly we were on the coastal side of the range and heading down a soft spring world…Green!!!

Not a sprig of green is yet to be seen on the prairies, but here is another story…

A grand new bridge boasts 8 lanes to ease traffic remarkably and we have reached the coast!

P1100324P1100328

The blossoms have begun in our absence…

But alas, tomorrow I fly to the land of igloos (not!) and sled dogs, and the land of the midnight sun…

Till then, must catch some shut-eye!
