Five people sit on a blanket on a rocky hill. Behind them is a red lighthouse with a white building next to them. The blue sea is in the distance and a few white clouds dot the sky.

Five people stand in front of a Catholic Church. A fence in front of the church is made of wrought iron with cannons as posts. Four people stand next to a cannon that points skyward. Each cannon has a statue of a saint on top. The fifth person (me) shrugs her shoulders.

A sleek whale body is seen above a fairly calm grey sea. A small curving dorsal fin closer to the tail identifies it as a minke whale.

OTD in 2008, @scottdenkers.bsky.social and I had a magical day at #ferrylandlighthouse and #baybulls #newfoundland! We visited the #canonizedsaints and had a picnic made by the lighthouse supporters. What a view! Later saw a #minkewhale. See alt text for explanation about the saints!
