Some wild life around Gros Morne National Park.

Look at me haven't I got a big rack!

I will have too in a year or two!
Happy family
This is called mist bathing - - sorry this is Newfoundland - fog bathing.

Brought to you by two cold and wet human animals.

Roberts Arm, Woody Point & The Tablelands


After leaving Twillingate we stayed at a B&B at Roberts Arm a delightful little place not a bit touristy, the real Newfoundland. Photo above of the Harbour and another fishing boat called Provider. I,thought only Ruth's family called their boats Provider. How wrong I was.
From Roberts Arm we moved on to Woodypoint in Gros Morne National Park.

All the history of Woody Point on these two boards.
Late afternoon photo of Bonne Bay.
The Tablelands, 1billion years old , part of the earths mantle thrust up during plates banging up against each other around 1 billion years ago.
Ruth and Donnie, the lousy weather will not stop these two intrepid explores. By this time I was back in the car, warm and dry.
A lovely plant Evan in this wild place things grow.
Some of the very unusual rocks in this place

Sandringham to Twillingate via Newtown.

A change in the weather this morning, no rain but overcast with the sun breaking through now and again.
We are travelling around the coast from the Sandringham/Eastport area through Gambo and New -Wes -Valley to Twillingate with a stop off at Newtown. The bridge above takes us into the village. The photos below showing the view looking from both sides of the bridge.








A bit gloomy with out any sun.



View of the church as we leave Newtown.
Arriving in Twingate,  a late afternoon photo of the view of the bay and the town of Twillingate in the distance and below the same view the next morning, and great news 'the sun is back today'

Another view of Twillingate from much the same position.
Along the coast always from Twillingate is theLong Point Light House
Looking over the cliff out to sea. We were told this is the place to see the icebergs sailing past in May/ June.  Wrong time of year for us if we come again that's the time to come, must be some sight!
Our last sight of Twillingate as we leave for our next port of call - Roberts Arm.
