Sunday Stills- Roads

Today's challenge is roads- very fitting, as they are of concern to many people right now, with evacuation notices in parts of my Province of B.C. due to flooding, and for those in the U.S. trying to escape the wild fires. This photo is a road closure where a raging creek washed out a road:

If you can't read the small handwritten notice, is says "Error 404 Road not found"
The water level here is reported to be at its highest for 50 years or more. I live on a road where there used to be a ferry to take people across the Kootenay River, and the ferry landing is now used for a boat launch. I rode Gussie down there a few days ago, you can see that the concrete pad for the boat launch is not visible.

Note to Ed: that's an osprey nest on the top of a power pole behind the trees on the far bank of the river.
The best roads are country roads as seen from the back of a horse.

It's not the road itself that is wonderful, its riding a good horse that puts it all in perspective.


For any of you folks in the U.S. who want to get away from the smoke and drought, c'mon up for a visit, if you head through the border crossing in Idaho, this is what you will see- the end of the road in the U.S. and the beginning of Canadian roads at the Rykerts/Porthill border crossing.

And for all us Canadians, it's Canada day, so here is a little patriotic photo of my husband on Beamer from  last year.
