MEMORIES NEVER TO BE FORGOTTEN.
.
This is what's in our heart and soul.

SUNSET OVER THE GUT.

.

Manuels River.

FROLICING.

WHITE SAILS.

.

Out for a late evening turn around the bay.

AUTUMN JOY.

.

Those flowers are rich in nectar and therefore very attractive to butterflies. If you find one amongst your weeds, don't destroy it, but transplant it to your flowergarden, that is if you like butterflies.

DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THIS ONE EXCEPT THEY ARE RELATED TO SUNFLOWERS.

.

Found in many flower gardens as well as in the wild.

BLACKBERRIES a.k.a PLUM BOY

.

I had mistakenly called these, raspberries.
A friend kindly corrected me.

FROM MY KITCHEN WINDOW.

.

It's the kind of day it's been here.

REFLECTIONS.

WHAT A CLUTTER !!

FIREWEED.

.

The countryside is presently ablaze with fireweed.

GOLDEN RAGWORT.

.

It's time now for autumn to strut it's stuff!! From the distance , this looks like common goldenrod.

CHUCKLEY PEARS.

.

Just right now for harvesting.

They make delicious wines, jams and jellies. Considering their abundance, it's surprising that so few people bother with them.

WOUNDWORT GOING TO SEED.

.

When young, one of the loveliest of our small flowers. A reminder of just how short our summer is and how much those little creatures have to accomplish in such a short span of days. View my blog page for Oct. 2007

LIKELY HEADING TO THE "GUT" FOR EVENING TROUT FISHING.

MARINE SAND SPURREY.

MARINE SAND SPURREY.

.

One of the smallest and most beautiful of our wild flowers. Found frequently along the edge of trailways and driveways. However, they are so tiny that one would have to look very closely to see them. To get a sharp hand-held macro shot, one would need a pretty steady hand which I no longer have.

MORNING GLORY.

Spotted those today near my mailbox. Had to hurry back for my camera because the blossoms fold and fade before sunset.

In all the eight years I've been here I've yet to find a Pitcher Plant. Every inch of land on ther southern Avalon is scraped over for new housing development . Fools paradise I call it. I grew up on Bell Island '

I'd love to live in the Corner Brook area just fot the joy of photographing Lady's Slipper, arguably the most beautiful of all our wild flowers.

Danny is smart, no question about that. The question is whether or not he is wise.

TWILLICK.

Greater Yellow Legs. One of the more common of our shore birds. The sun had already gone down when I spotted this little fellow, so it was hard to get a proper exposure.
