Recently I wrote about  Yvan and I crossing the St. Lawrence so we could sketch the Quebec City skyline.  I mentioned that we were disappointed by the lack of sun that made it difficult to see the buildings clearly in the low-contrast light.

Of course we do quick sketches as we cross on the ferry. Here’s one example – A Girl On a Boat (alias A Girl On a Phone).

Undaunted by that experience, we watched weather forecasts and, on a day that was supposed to be sunny, we boarded the ferry and headed to the south shore of the St. Lawrence.  That sounds too much like we took a trip.  The ferry ride is no more than 10 minutes and half of that is waiting as they dock the ship.  We scurried off the board and into the terminal, which is a nice, warm place from which to look at Quebec City.

Apparently, Mother Nature doesn’t read weather forecasts because there was no sun but we sketched anyway.  As we were leaving it started to snow.
