Generous words. Ed drives, I look. We take the side road. Rarely do we choose a highway over a back road. Snow flurries along the St. Lawrence. Much of the river is not frozen here.

Please, while I’m handling the camera here, can you put one hand on the wheel? I mean, life is short enough.
It’s a habit…
I see that.
Do you know where the airport is?
I saw a sign. Montreal airport. Take the exit at 15.
Okay… even though I thought we were departing from Trudeau…

Signs are there to keep sign-makers employed.

Such are the issues that accompany travel. So many people have said that travel these days is a pain. Waiting, always waiting, managing bad weather, faulty reservations, security issues. Who needs this?

ReplyDeleteUltimately, the islander was happy that I stopped by and asked about her currants and berries, garage door incident notwithstanding. People are proud of the stuff they make and if you've traveled far and at odd seasons to stop and listen, all the better.
I love the photo on top -- the tree, the snow, the little blue structure thingy. Really nice composition.
