a quick stop on a busy road

I was driving down to Boston from Portland while talking to my sister Anne when I noticed the subtle colors lining the roadside -- green conifers, white birch and, umm, red leaves, all dusted with ice and snow. Seemed snappable, so on Anne's suggestion, I pulled over and took a couple of shots. I don't like stopping on highways so I made it quick, and of course had passed by better compositions that I didn't want to walk back to take. Still, this should give you something of an idea as to what it was like.

The drive between the cities was fine. The roads were wet but not slippery at all, given the weather from the night before.
