Happy New Year

Posted by Marion (Nanaimo, BC, Canada) on 1 January 2009 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

This image was taken a week ago today on Christmas day on our way to our daughter's. The highway was clear, the sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Taken through the windshield as we travelled North with presents, yam casserole, bean salad and crock pot stuffing in tow. We had a wonderful day.

Amazing isn't it that the more beautiful the sight, the more treacherous the road...This is so beautiful and lovely and I was kidding yesterday, the best thing to do during a bad storm is to stay home...let only those essential services out on the road...Happy New Year Marion x ps what do you do? lol

@Lorraine: Thanks Lorraine. I work four days a week at a credit union. I was in lending for years but now I am a receptionist/greeter etc. etc. Looking forward to retirement.

Dear Marion & Ray, we're so happy you had clear roads for your trek to Vicki's on Christmas Day.

A week later, it seems your temps are hovering around 0, so it may rain or snow, but hopefully it will warm up a bit as you move into the weekend. Happy New Years wishes from our home to yours! ... Hugs, Judy & Mike

@Judy: Well we had snow again overnight. But now it has warmed up and it is falling in big clumps off the trees unto the roof. Soft thuds are peppering the quiet and soon it will rain. Ray is off to work and Christopher, Erica and Aiden are coming by for a visit. We "have to" make our yearly cheese balls. Guess Christopher isn't going to let that tradition die. The two of us do it every year but usually before Christmas :)).

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States

Ohhhhhh, you'll have to take photos to keep the tradition going even if and when you are unable to do it! :D
It sounds like healthy fun!
Mike is on his way to collect Quinlin, who (at this point) wants to "play with Grandpa" and stay overnight.

Utterly beautiful. A fairytale land transformed by the snow. Treacherous to drive in and a pain after a while, but doesn't it transform the landscape. Gorgeous
