Newfoundland day 5

For day number 5 of my Newfoundland trip, we had a day in the town of Bonavista. When I woke up it was raining so we went for a little drive to see what there was to see and we first went to Cape Bonavista Lighthouse which is a National Historic Site but I did not get any pictures there because of the wind and the rain. Next, we went to Dungeon Provincial Park which is a pair of sea caves that you can see from above which is what the first picture is of. Next, we went down the road to Ellistion and Maberly which are the root cellar capitals of the world. That is what the second picture is of. The next two pictures are from after lunch when it finally stopped raining I was able to take a couple pictures of the town of Bonavista. The first of the two pictures is the Orange house there and the second of the two is the harbor. I then went for a drive to some surrounding villages and the next four pictures are from abandon buildings there, looking over Tickle Cove and of a church in Red Cliff. The last picture is from the side of the road looking over Bonavista.

Hunting Camp 2023

My yearly trip up to my family's "Hunt Camp" was last weekend. It was a great time seeing the family and seeing the beautiful landscape that it sits on.

So Many Woodpeckers

Recently I went on a walk in a local wooded area, for most of the walk I didn't see anything other than some Black-Capped Chickadees until near the end when the first came alive. I saw four different species of woodpecker and a giant Raven. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a photo of all of the birds that were there. Then on the walk home from the wooded area, I came across a group of house finches feeding on some berries in a tree, where one posed perfectly in the bright winter sun for me.

Driftwood Provincial Park 2023

The first and most likely only camping trip this year was just taken on the July 1st long weekend. It is probably going to be the only trip because we just got a puppy and aren't quite at the stage yet of taking her camping. In some other news I got a new camera. Henrys was having an trade in event and for once was offering a fair deal. I traded in my Nikon D7200 and got a Sony Alpha a6600 instead. I got a 70-350mm lens and have an 16-50mm lens on order that should hopefully be in mid August. That is currently why all my photos are zoomed in and there is no landscape ones.
