In my travels across the province I came upon this old forgotten grave:
The April 1914, S.S. Newfoundland sealing disaster where 77 of the 132 sealers died on the ice, while many of the survivors lost one or more limbs to frostbite
Part of our seafaring history.

Extraordinary thing about people leaving Twitter and coming to a site with real moderation is how badly right wing assholes need people to bully & how unhinged they get when everyone fucks off and leaves them alone with themselves.
Even fascists don't like spending time with fascists, it seems.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful moms, both those who are with us and those who have passed away. You are both forever loved.
Summer is just around the corner. I can’t wait to get out around the bay to enjoy the beautiful coastline and white sand beaches. Yes, that’s in #Newfoundland 😎
Enjoy!
One of those few times in #Newfoundland where the weather is on your side for the Easter long weekend 🌝
if I were a billionaire I would simply be able to come up with half a billion dollars
Summer is just around the corner and although a lot of the coastline in #Newfoundland is rocky we also have some incredible beaches with no one on them.
Old fishing shed around the bay. #Newfoundland
This is what 80 cm of fresh snow looks like.
Across the street from me is a house with 3 vehicles, and 2 which are almost completely buried.

I feel your pain. With the assistance of my neighbour and his snowblower we got through my driveway in about an hour.
Without his assistance I would been looking at 3 to 4 hours to clear it.
Hard to tell from the photo but it’s about 90% better than before 😊
This is what I woke up to this morning; 80 cm of snow 😐

Yup, I’m done with the snow, thanks 😐
Room with a view....
Never seems to end.
Think of all the good one could do with money and power.
Instead we get this.
Stay safe, the world is with you 🙏
Another new year started off with a clear head and a healthy body.
Although I still enjoy a good glass of wine and the odd beer I’ve learned to keep it in moderation, and I’m all the better for it.
All the best to all of you, may 2024 bring happiness and prosperity into your homes 🎉
Happy New Year from Newfoundland, the first place in North America to ring in the new year 🎉
Happy (almost) New Year 🎉
All the best to everyone in the #BlueSky 😊
🎄Merry Xmas to all the great people I've met here 😀
May your holidays be filled with cheer and happiness!
Epic picture!
Ah, Saturday, when many of us can begin the day at home with a fresh brew, homemade breakfast and good conversation, all which makes for a great start to the weekend :-)
Agreed. The world does not need another burger 10 inches high with everything in the fridge wedged in between.
Just give me a regular burger, I’ll judge what goes on top, full stop.
It’s almost Xmas, right?

Hiking the East Coast Trail a few weeks ago.
Finally on the sky 😊
