Champlain Islands

Again no overtime this afternoon so I had an hour and a half of daylight when I got out of work. I took Exit 17 off of I-89 that I skipped yesterday.  I went in the direction of the Ferry and Islands sign and it did not steer me wrong.  I was 1/2 way across a bridge when I noticed that there were wide parking spaces on the other side of the road. Traffic was light, and I crossed over and pulled into a space.  I might have seen more, had I kept going and gotten on to one of the islands, but I figured the vast snowscape wouldn't be that different once I crossed the bridge.

I like open space.  Even though the lake is covered with snow, it still seems expansive to me.  Because I love my digital camera, I took 17 pictures of basically three view: the left side of the bridge, the right side, and then the vantage point down the road after I turned around.  I won't post all 17 'cause that is silly.  But is sure is fun not to have to self-censor when I take pictures. I'm not going to print them all anyway.  What does a few extra digital images cost me except hard drive space on my laptop.

I didn't stay for the full sunset because I wanted to get to Tiny Thai in Winooski for dinner.  That was a good recommendation by my co-workers.  They had tofu satay with peanut sauce on the menu.  So good!

And I have enough extra noodles and tofu so that I can eat left overs tomorrow.  Having extra food is a good thing, as we are expecting snow tomorrow evening.  As long as the roads are clear Friday and I can head home, another few inches isn't going to make much of a difference.
