ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL...

FEVERVIEW. Not a nice name for a beautiful little weed.

ALL CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL...

MISTY MORNING.

LOVELY IRIS

WILD BEAUTY.

LUPINS.

One of the first signs that summer has really arrived.

COMMON SPEEDWELL.

These tiny flowers grow in abundance out on the point in Brigus South.

COOL.COOL WATERS.

MOTOTBOAT

This beautiful design is uniquely Newfoundland. Sometimes referred to as a skiff, especially when used for fishing. It's good to know that some of them are being preserved

MAJESTIC HEADLAND.

Brigus Head, Southern Shore. Note the old fellow who appears to be sitting waist deep near the waterline.

PITILESS FINGERS.

Ever reaching for the unwary.

NEW AND OLD.

SEA-DOO

SUNSET OVER THE WITLESS BAY BARRENS.

Caught those photos while driving across the barrens last Friday evening. Missed some good shots because of the traffic. Most people in too big a hurry to stop to look at the sunset.

AROUND THE POND.

Kelligrews

LUCKY SO FAR..

Considering the vast number of gulls that frequent this pond at hatching time, it's almost a miracle that any of those ducklings survive. To watch those predators swoop down and fly off with them as if they were only so much garbage floating on the surface is pretty infuriating.

DEPLETED FAMILY.

There would have been at least, initially, a dozen ducklings in this brood.

KEEPING CLOSE TO MOM.

SO VULNERABLE.

Those ducklings are not more than a few hours old.

COULDN'T DECIDE WHIC ONE TO KEEP, SO I KEPT THEM BOTH

MERRY-GO ROUND.

The little ones will play despite the danger.

BEING CALLED IN FOR BEDTIME.

Soon they will be nestled snugly beneath their mom's wings.

STANDING ON GUARD.

SURROGATE FATHER.

We saw this remarkable scene in in Brigus South.

A saucy old gander had taken over protection of a mother duck and her little brood. No chance of the gulls getting near those ducklings.
