FIREWEED.

SANDWORTS.

.

One of the tiniest and prettiest of our wild flowers.

WEEDS.

.

Just picked this pail of weeds out around my door. They are not by any means "arranged", but stilll make a nice bouquet. Right now they are in a beef bucket. May select some later for a vase.

MAX CLARK IN THE WHEELHOUSE OF HIS YACHT, SUGAR.

Thanks, Max and Sandra, for a most enjoyable and unforgettable afternoon.

MAX'S PRIDE AND JOY.

An authentic Newfoundland motorboat, complete with an original 4-hp make-and-break Acadia engine.

4-HP ACADIA.

.

This will bring back memories to every lad who grew up in a Nfld. outport or in coastal Labrador.

It was quite a knack reversing the engine without having to use an ignition switch.

OUT FOR A CRUISE.

.

Unfortuanaely we couldn't venture far out on the bay because of the lop, and neither of us were wearing oil-skins.

CUDDY.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE.

I remember when the putt-putting of those motor boats in the early dawning awakened the outports to the beginning of a new day. This soulful Newfoundland sound seems so forlonly out of place echoing off the facades of million dollar mansions.

PEARLY EVERLASTING FLOWER.

.

There are not many places in Newfoundland where this plant does not grow in profusion.

FEVERFEW.

.

This is a very old plant used in ancient times as a cure for many ailments. Its benefits are being re-discovered today, even in the treatment of leukemia. We forget the potential benefits to humanity that are being destroyed in our chemical warfare to eradicate weeds.

FUN DAY ON THE BAY.
