Blackhead

There are also icebergs off Blackhead. They are visible from Signal Hill but you can see them much closer in Blackhead. It was really warm today (17ºC) with little wind. There was an odd mist hanging along the coastline too.

Southern Shore

We drove down the Southern Shore today in search of icebergs. There were a lot around the Tors Cove area, the most we have seen in one spot yet.

Killick Coast

We drove from Logy Bay to Bauline today in search of icebergs. We saw one in Logy Bay, 2 in Flatrock, 3 in Pouch Cove and several in the distance. That stretch of road is called the Killick Coast.

Bergs on the Move

I went back to Cuckold's Cove and Signal Hill today to see the icebergs. The bergs have moved away from Cuckold's Cove and are now off Signal Hill. I suspect by tomorrow they will be past Fort Amherst, perhaps in Freshwater Bay or Blackhead. But there are more on the way, you can see them in the distance. There are also some off Cape Spear.

Icebergs From Signal Hill

Another look at those icebergs in Cuckold's Cove, this time from Signal Hill. As you can see, it is still foggy. What you can't see is the cold. It was really cold and windy on Signal Hill today.

Back to the Bergs

I went back to Quidi Vidi and Cuckold's Cove today to see how the icebergs were doing. The ones in Cuckold's Cove have moved a bit and another small one has come into view. There were several people in both places looking at the icebergs in spite of the cold, wind, rain and fog.

Rain + Drizzle + Fog = Icebergs?

We've had a lot of RDF lately and it's been too foggy to see if there are more icebergs coming close. I suspect there are, as the northeast wind that brings the ugly weather will also bring the icebergs. I saw these small icebergs this morning, one in the entrance to Quidi Vidi harbour and the other 2 in Cuckold's Cove nearby. I am hoping that when the fog lifts we'll see a lot more.

Looking for Icebergs

Yesterday when I was at Cape Spear I could see some icebergs in the distance. Since the wind was northwest I thought they might get pushed closer to shore overnight so today I went out in search of icebergs. My first stop was Outer Cove. There was a lot of pack ice in the cove but no big icebergs. I could see a couple in the distance though. Still, the pack ice and bergy bits made for nice photos. After supper Joe and I went to Pouch Cove where there was a beautiful iceberg near land. It seems a little early for icebergs but I hope there are more to come.

Cape Spear

I went to Cape Spear today. It was about 2ºC with a north-west wind but I hardly noticed it. I spent over an hour taking pictures of the waves and walking around. It was a beautiful day and I enjoyed every minute of it.

Mount Pearl City Hall

I had to run a few errands in Mount Pearl today and decided to take a photo of their city hall while I was there.

Crocuses

There is still snow around but the crocuses are coming up. These are not on my front lawn, mine are not up yet.
