I found a junco's nest in the back garden today. I was pulling weeds when a junco flew up out of the grass. It stayed in the tree chirping at me so I figured there must be a nest nearby. I looked under some dead grass and there was the small nest with two teeny tiny eggs in it. It's very close to where I mowed the grass so it's lucky it survived. I am going to keep an eye on it and maybe get a picture of baby juncos.
A couple of photos taken today. It was sunny but there was fog drifting in, and it wasn't that warm either. The first photo is of Quidi Vidi Lake, the other two were taken at Kenny's Pond.
This large iceberg is just outside Quidi Vidi Village. The other one is the same iceberg that I've been photographing since May 31st, it's now off Cuckold's Cove, between Signal Hill & Quidi Vidi. There was a bank of fog out there all day, making it pretty cool along the coast but it was hot elsewhere in the city.
There was low lying fog this morning when I was on Signal Hill. The iceberg that was near Blackhead on the weekend has moved off Signal Hill. This is the same iceberg from May 31, June 1 & 2.
I went on an impromptu adventure today. I had heard that there was a large iceberg in Conception Bay North so I decided to drive out there and see it. I drove to Upper Island Cove and then to Port de Grave, the iceberg was between those two places. When I got to Port de Grave I decided to walk out to the lighthouse and then decided to do a geocache out there (I found it!). On the way home I went back out to Blackhead to see how the iceberg had changed because yesterday part of it cracked off. Then I drove up Signal Hill where you could see a few more smaller bergs. All in all a full day!
A few photos from our drive today. We went in search of icebergs and saw several large ones in the distance and a few small ones close to shore.
This is the same iceberg I saw outside the harbour yesterday. It floated a bit and is now near the small community of Blackhead on the road to Cape Spear. And luckily we had nicer weather today than yesterday.
An iceberg just outside The Narrows this afternoon, I drove around to get pictures from several different angles. I hope it is still there tomorrow.
