September 2018
It just goes on, forever.
Crossed by wary wild things.
And some smaller but bolder. This bundle of frenetic energy is a mink, a small, water-loving member of the weasel family.
It is so intent on its quest that it almost ignores me.
Spruce grouse keep watch on their own stretch of highway.
If there are any bats in the batbox, they are certainly asleep.
And the road – it just continues, rolling out of the park gate and into the rural provinces beyond.
You can never really know a path like this. As soon as you reach one end, the beginning has reinvented itself with the seasons and you have to start all over again.
Constant travelling. Constant learning. Life on the Canadian roads.
A Walk with Wildlife

Beautiful captures, Adele. Those straight-on forever roads are amazing, aren’t they?

Yes, straighter than the crow flies, I suspect! Very different to rural roads in the UK, which are narrow and full of corners. The old Roman roads were famously straight but my local stretch of one seems to have acquired some bends over the centuries!

Here in New England our roads mostly follow winding waterways or old cowpaths! 😉

This is exactly what amazes me about Canada: roads that go, seemingly, forever. I like to say that Canada gave me a space to breathe: you can drive for thousand kilometers without leaving a province, not to mention a country. While I lived in Europe, every 200 km or so I needed to show a passport; and for someone who lived in Serbia that often meant that I needed a visa to cross the border. A nuisance…

That is true east to west, and also to the north. Such a vast country.
I once travelled from Quebec City to Jasper by Greyhound…four days, three breakdowns and one police visit after two passengers got in a fight! But the sheer expanse of distance was unforgettable.
