ROAD TRIP IN MY MIND

OK guys, where are you taking me today?

All I ask is that I have a good time.

So many times I have heard them talk about the parade in Provincetown

and all the pictures they took ~~~

the freedom to be as you are

to join in with all peeps relaxing and in such a joyous mood

meeting this THREESOME willing to share their beautifying moment

 Jim kept his eyes open for the perfect photo

catching the Pride Flag everywhere in all it's glory

capturing Ron's reflection in the windows

as he took pictures so many pictures

Gees I think I get it now!

I'm feeling like I was there 

it's taken over my whole body.

MOUCHO MANY CLOUDS

I see clouds all the time 

whether in the city 

as in yesterday's post

or when on the road driving

to Ron's birthplace,

the Annapolis Valley.

As soon as we leave the city limits this passed fall

the clouds were creeping in over the trees.

The drive was like this all the way

about 100kms crossing the province of Nova Scotia

on Hwy 101

from the eastern side 

to the western side.

In the distance the white clouds

gave us some hope,

perhaps fair weather

on arrival.

Then as quick as a wink

the grey clouds billowed up

and 

who knew

what was in store for us.

Up and around the bend

after passing a couple towns and villages

we saw Blomidon Mountain

shrouded in clouds.

This scene always means "Home" to Ron.

No this isn't his home

but the beauty of this view

just gives you an idea 

of his world as a youth.

The clouds did hang in that day,

but it didn't stop me from playing with my new friend.

The rain was pouring down in the background

over Blomidon.

I'll take you there some day when the weather improves 

like 2014 ~~~ winter's coming!

STORMY WEATHER

Safe and Sound, I am!

Yes, I have the back seat to myself

and with the rains pouring down

 the driving is somewhat slower than usual.

This cloud bank that we are heading into

looks like it is going to engulf

the roadway to the bridge span.

The closer we get to the center span

(181 feet (55 m) above sea level)

  (click for bridge info)

the windier and slipperier 

the driving becomes.

The darkness is surrounding us

and everyone knows to hold onto their wheels

because "white-knuckle" driving

is the norm on the bridge

in this kind of weather.

Oh doggy, we are off the expanse!

Phew, I really don't like stormy weather 

when crossing over the harbour.

Simple as that!
