Day 19: Turnouts and Tablelands
While Laura was climbing Gros Morne Mountain, I went on my own adventure to hike the “tablelands.”
Summer
Day 18: Our Daughter Climbs Gros Morne Mountain
Our daughter did this strenuous 11 mile, mostly vertical hike, and generously shared her photos with us. She said it was grueling but really cool.
Day 17: Gros Morne Fjord
Traveling up the Western Brook Pond Fjord in Gros Morne National Park has been on my bucket list for a long time. As a thirteen year old, I was privileged the go up the Norwegian fjords, and totally loved it. After that, I added every fjord onto my life-list.
Day 16: Baker’s Brook Falls Trail (with Lady’s Slippers)
The wildflowers were wonderful on this Baker’s Creek Falls hike in Gros Morne National Park.
Day 15: Overnight Boat to Newfoundland (and new Campsite)
Check out our overnight ferry to Newfoundland and our new campsite there.
Day 14: Ingonish Beach Campground, Nova Scotia
We loved our six days at the Ingonish Beach Campground in Cape Breton Highlands National Park.
Day 13: Canadian Flowers
The flowers have been lovely, with lupine, lilacs, rhododendrons, and poppies everywhere. It is like spring here, a couple months behind the flowers at home.
Left for a Month Long Camping Trip with our Daughter
Our younger daughter and I have left for a month long camping trip to Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, and Prince Edward’s Island.
Summer is Waning at the Quarry Swimming Hole (Photos)
I often seem to want to capture this place on my iPhone, and this post shows the little reflection studies that have caught my eye, as well as a couple spectacular clouds, and in the last two photos below, another great sandcastle made by the kids there.
Saguaro Photos
I learned that saguaro is pronounced (Soo-Whar-o) and that they have to live to 100 years old before they can grow an arm.
Other Sedona Photos
The guy at the visitor’s center made me promise not to hike in the afternoons because it was so blasted HOT, so that left a lot of time for wandering in galleries and stuffing my face.
Photos from my Hike In Sedona (Six Miles in 110º Heat)
I hope, through these photographs, you enjoy meandering this trail with me, reveling in all this natural beauty.
Sausalito Marina Photos
While we were in California, we enjoyed spending an evening at the marina in Sausalito, across the bay from San Francisco.
Rodeo Beach, California (Photos)
The colors on the surrounding hillsides, the sea stacks and crashing Pacific ocean, the driftwood and the company, all were wonderful.
Photos of September Flowers
I live in a beautiful place surrounded by flowers. Here are just a sampling of the beautiful blooms I have enjoyed this month.
Amaranth Photos at Hollandia
In this post are the photos I snapped that day, gobsmacked by this flower’s intensely deep crimson and fascinating shape.
