Long Pond
This is Long Pond in the city, it has a nice walking trail around it. As you can see everything is coming into bloom.

Alpine Wildflower
I drove to a barren hillside today to look for alpine wildflowers. I found some blooming. Boy are they tiny! This is Diapensia Lapponica.

Mini Zen Garden
This is a mini zen garden I have on my coffee table. Just a quick shot tonight as it rained all day and I was busy working on my website, then we watched a movie before I realized I didn't have a picture for today. I plan on taking better pictures of the mini zen garden some other time with good lighting.

Fort Amherst
Fort Amherst at the entrance to the harbour. I took this from the top of Cabot Tower. I've also included a photo that shows how tiny those forget-me-nots are.

Scrabble
Does anyone else love to play Scrabble? I do but I usually can't get anyone to play with me (they won't play Boggle with me either....seems I am too good at it!)

Tapper's Cove, Torbay
A beautiful warm day today, I took some pictures of the crashing waves at Tapper's Cove in Torbay and walked up the hill on part of the walking trail to get more pictures.

Goldfinch
A bright male goldfinch on the deck today. He stayed there for a long time and sang. I think he was trying to get the attention of the female goldfinch at the feeder.

Patchy Fog
I guess this is what they call patchy fog......one patch moving from the harbour up to the city. It looks like smoke.

Happiness
My sister visited this weekend and she gave me this beautiful Willow Tree figurine named "Happiness" (I collect them). My photo does not do it justice.

Newfoundland & Labrador Dogs
These dog statues are in Harbourside Park downtown, a Newfoundland Dog and a Labrador Retreiver. It was a grey, foggy day and not much interesting to take pictures of.

Botanical Gardens
I went to the Botanical Gardens today, there was not a lot blooming. I was surprised to see bees and butterflies, though. I also saw a Ruffed Grouse but it was in the woods and I didn't get good pictures of it.

Osprey
I read on a local birding newsgroup that there was an Osprey's nest not far from me (Portugal Cove Road just past Old Broad Cove Road, for anyone around St. John's who wants to go see it). I drove out there this morning and watched the Osprey fly back and forth to the nest a few times. The nest is on top of an electrical pole on the side of the road.
