Sir Wilfred Grenfell

The coast guard ship Sir Wilfred Grenfell in St. John's harbour. I was on this ship when I was a teenager, my mother's cousin worked on it and he gave us a tour.

Southside Hills Hike

Today I hiked the East Coast Trail on the Southside Hills. I started from Shea Heights and hiked as far as Fort Amherst. It took me 3 1/2 hours, but that was stopping often to take photos and rests. I also did 4 geocaches along the trail. Most of the trail is up and down among trees and ponds. It's not until you reach the top ridge that you can actually see the city and the harbour. The views are fantastic and I took a lot of photos.

Bubble Tea & Fairy Tea

The first photo, "Bubble Tea" won a 3rd place ribbon at DPC. This evening I experimented again with the teapot and came up with something I call Fairy Tea. I don't like it as much as the Bubble Tea photo.
