Just a road

Just a road, a twisty gravel road like any other road out of town and off the two highways going north/south, and west. This one leads down to the BCHydro campsites on the shore of the lake, so it is wider than most, and has fewer tire-challenging potholes.

The road in May, with spring-green leaves.

And I love these roads. Every curve brings a new green vista, new hills, new mountains. Stop the car, and listen to the silence until your ears adjust and you hear the whispering of leaves and the chuckle of a creek running down the ditch, maybe the cry of an eagle overhead or the croaking of a raven in the trees.

A Skywatch post.

Un camino cualquiera, un camino de grava serpenteando entre los bosques, un camino como todos fuera de la ciudad aparte de las dos carreteras pavimentadas, norte/sur y hacia el oeste. Este nos lleva a los sitios de campamento de BCHydro, a la orilla del lago, y por lo tanto es más amplio que la mayoría, y se mantiene en mejor estado, sin tantos baches amenazantes.

Me encantan estos caminos. Cada curva abre una vista nueva, cerros y montañas nuevos. Detén el coche y escucha el silencio hasta que tus oídos se ajustan y empieces a oir el sursurro de las hojas, la risa de un riachuelo bajando en la zanja, tal vez el grito de un águila o el "crak" de un cuervo común entre los árboles.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
