Easter Drive

I decided to take a drive and see what the landscape looked like "out of town". So I started heading east to Horsefly, about a 60km hop. Our temperature warmed up to a balmy 23 degrees and with the sun and blue sky, could have thought it was a summer day, then I turned the corner and saw the Caribou mountains with their heavy snowpack still in place.



Another corner and there was this pastoral view of the cows brought closer to home while the calving process goes on, there were some pretty little tikes warming themselves in these fields, although with the snow, can't imagine that ground was too warm.


Here is another one complete with overhead wires.



Around another corner and whoah!.....a rancher out exercising his Belgians, they were pretty frisky for such large horses and did not like me overtaking them, which I did quite cautiously, slowly and silently....yes, silently, it is a Toyota 4runner, very quiet running you know!!!



I threw this picture in as I have a question for those clever people out there...

This picture was taken on a drive back from Kamloops a week or so ago. I thought it was a strange phenomenon. It was getting quite late, and these spots on the windscreen were caused by this sudden, short, rain shower. They did not wash off with my windshield washer fluid at all. Very oil-like marks, but perfectly round.
They were so bad, that I had to stop at the next gas station which was about 20km further on and borrow some elbow grease in the form of a nice attendant, who produced some cleaner and papertowel, it took quite a bit of effort, but he finally managed to remove it, we decided it was "acid rain"......well some kind of pollution from the skies for sure! Anybody any ideas?

It didn't rain before or after, my windshield was clean, it spotted rain, and voila, big perfectly round rainspots on my windshield. I wonder if Captain Blog can figure it out, or is he only good at puzzles in his flying machines.
