what about the plastic animals?

Newfoundland in Miniature

Specifically a little pond in Mobile and a replica of the resettled town of Oderin just outside St. Marys.

 

Unless the urge strikes that's it for me for a while.  Thanks for reading and commenting over the years!

Ten More From Newfoundland

A few more from Newfoundland. Except for the Gander Airport terminal all of these are from the Avalon Peninsula. One more batch tomorrow to finish out the lot.

Ten From Newfoundland

I can't promise photos from Newfoundland and leave before posting them.  Here's ten from the western side of the island:

I'll put up some eastern Newfoundland photos on another day.

On Hiatus

It is time for a change.  Over the past few months I've written these blog posts solely on the momentum of past posts.  That momentum has finally run out.  Instead of staring at the screen again this evening I'm going to take an indefinite break from writing here.  I'll still be putting photos on Flickr with some frequency.

Newfoundland

I have returned from two weeks in Newfoundland.  This is a view of St. John's harbor and downtown St. John's from the top of Signal Hill.  Signal Hill is where Guglielmo Marconi received the first Transatlantic wireless signal in December 1901.

We'll see more of St. John's and Transatlantic transmissions later in the show.  First, though, a big thanks go out to Sheila and Greg for the food, lodging and great company.  Another big thanks goes to travel companion Donna who flew in from Colorado to join me on the trip.

On a side note, even though I'm keeping a closer eye on the site now that I'm back comments will continue to sit in the moderation queue before being published.  That's just to better manage the spam comments (they really like Grandma Brown's Baked Beans for some reason).  If you're a real person leaving a real comment your comment will appear, just not immediately after you make it.
