Dressed for the season Dryden, ON January 2023 This photo originally shared on Instagram |
This isn’t a day to be outside, but life rarely offers us choices about where we need to be, and when. So here we find ourselves about to hit the road amid a landscape that is as stunningly beautiful as it is dangerous.
All this comes with the territory when you’re Canadian, living in a land that figuratively takes your breath away around every corner, and attempts to do so literally if you aren’t paying enough attention.
So I shoot quickly before we finish loading up, then ease onto the road in between the semis and point the nose west. As we settle into the now-familiar road trip groove, the forests that crowd both sides of the twisting, icy road put on a show for us, each curve more blindingly gorgeous than the last. I make a note to myself to pick up a dashcam before our next visit here, as the photos I’m taking in my mind’s eye are epic, and I’d love to share them.
I’m reminded, though, that not every moment in life comes with its own photo album. Memories take many forms, after all, and a collection of pixels represents only one of them.
