Following the Sky
This was the scene as we made our way from Kamloops to Vancouver this afternoon and early evening. It was all kinds of strange weather on the way home. There shouldn't be such cool weather and snow this late in the season even through these high mountain passes.
It was snowing just a short way into our journey and it snowed intermittently. I thought the strange weather made for interesting sky photos for today's Skywatch meme; especially since there were also bits of blue sky and some sun here and there.
This is nearing the home stretch as we cross the Fraser River on the Port Mann Bridge.
Just as we crossed the bridge into Coquitlam it started to rain.
Then as we drove on it stopped. I expect there will be rain overnight or perhaps tomorrow.

Thank you, Riet. You have a wonderful weekend too.
The clouds and light were putting on quite a show for you, thanks for sharing with SWF and your kind comments on my post earlier.
Thank you PM for your visit. The ride home did give us quite the light show.
My goodness, what a variety of skies! A beautiful journey--one I've taken, but not for many years. Thank you for taking us along.
I'm surprised BC is having such cool weather! The skies are lovely though. :)
What beautiful skies!
Great series. We've had unseasonably cold weather here too, but nothing like what you're seeing.

Amazing skies but I am so glad that we have finished with snow!! Diane

What wonderful views you had on your drive and I liked the changing skies.
there's a lot of drama in those skies. the cloud formations are wonderful and so low in the sky. it seems like typical April weather with intermittent showers/sun moving through. we've had cooler-than-normal temps here too. You live in a beautiful area, and your series of skywatch photos is extraordinary. have a great weekend.
Oh...it still looks like winter is passing through! Nice dramatic skies...
Beautiful, i'm sure it was a fun trip with all the skywatching...
The cold weather makes for some really dramatic skies. We have snow here today too. Thank you for sharing your day out there.
Wonderful series of photos. The sky and clouds do look very dramatic. Thanks for sharing your skywatch. Have a great weekend!
Joyful, exciting isn't it!! You experienced all weathers and even seasons !!
Dramatic and unusual day . I enjoyed the tour with you.
Lovely series of skies to light your way home.
Thank you for your visit, Clair. Who knows, perhaps you will get another chance to take this highway journey :-)
Yes the cool weather seems to be everywhere. Egads we're even expecting more rain!
Thank you Peggy!
We have had quite the ride with the weather. Thanks for your visit!
I a fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.
Diane, the snow was in the high mountain range not down in the city, though it was cold when I was in Kamloops and it did snow a bit over a 3 day period.
Thank you for your visit, Kim. The weather was interesting to photography through the car window. It was a bit chilly when we stepped outside though.
Thank you for your very kind comment. I guess it is typical April weather but the temperatures seemed cooler than usual.
Winter is mostly done but it is still quite cool. We had a day here and there of warmer weather but nothing to write home about.
Yes, these kind of dramatic days are good for the blog ;-) I do enjoy watching the sky when there is something dramatic to look at :-)
Oh wow, it seems cool weather is in many places, still. I hope you will get warmer weather soon.
Thank you, Eileen for your visit and your kind words.
Snowwhite, it really was quite dramatic to drive through the weather and see so many changes in such a short time. I'm glad you enjoyed the tour.
Thank you, Wren. It was interesting coming home through all the drama in the skies.
