Aka... heading for the high country! Yeah, I've been out a bit... the first ride was last week when my bike broke down (doesn't count). But yesterday the sun broke out and I headed for the high country. 325 km of shear joy with spectacular scenery, clean mountain air and freshly powdered snowscapes. I thought I'd post a bit of a pictorial of my supernatural day!

While passing through the bohemian capitol of the world (Nelson, BC, Canada) I captured this interesting character.


This shot kinda puts it into perspective.


Then, as I pushed further North I stopped by the shores of Kootenay Lake to enjoy the lunch I'd brought with me.


Pressing further on I stopped here, now far up in altitude where the landscape was still frozen.


And (that's a lake behind there)...


And (O. M. G!!!)...


And finally... after descending closer to the valley floor I stopped at a particularly good vantage point and captured this.


And now I'm just gracing you with a preview of this year's version of the Mountain Lady of the North!


Oh, and Frank? Perhaps you now get a sense of why I live where I live! Winter is Winter, but Spring is blissfully Spring!!!!!


Live to love, love to live.
