Snow and Sun days

Two weeks ago, we flew back from Vancouver to Saskatoon (a visit for my Dad's birthday and Jo's thesis defense, both of which were successful!) with plans to drive the six hours back up to The Pas. Winter storm hit and we were stuck in Saskatoon, for two nights. We found some coffee shops and stayed with a friend's brother, all was not lost. We finally decided to hit the road back home. Here are some photos from our drive from Saskatoon to The Pas, a wintery paradise/death trap we were lucky enough to escape! It was quite a view, actually.





That's the sun peeking up there on the top of the trees. When there was no sun, it was all monochromatic and beautiful. Since we've got back the weather has been quite glorious. Sunny every day with temperatures reaching a balmy high of 10 degrees.  One sunny late afternoon, we decided to drive the two minutes to get to the river's edge where the sun sets and take a few photos. It looks like this most sunny afternoons, which is often these days. Here are a few choice selections.

  1. Very nice photos and sense of what it's like: certainly big-sky country in contrast to the coast.

    The sun on the bench one is particularly appealing and the snow ones made me shiver.

    Keep 'em coming.
