Photo from April 17th.
This photo of Trinity, Newfoundland and Labrador caught my eye as soon as I walked into the new ambulatory health hub in St. John’s, N.L. #Photomonday #FotoMontag
Shelter in the storm. A house to protect me from the elements.
Ability to buy ingredients and make soup for my hubby who’s under the weather (and for me).
A pop-up choir at the grocery store that soothed my soul. There is good in this world.
It's tough to get around in rural Canada without your own vehicle. Listen to how some areas of Newfoundland are hopping on the public transit bandwagon. I prepared this past week's episode of the CBC podcast, This is NL. #PublicTransit #transportation https://app.magellan.ai/listen_links/XhEQwp
Sun sets later now
More blue sky days are coming
Robins will be back
One year ago, on Feb. 15/25, the MSC Baltic III container ship grounded in Cedar Cove, off Western Newfoundland. 20 crew members were rescued. On Friday, I co-hosted a radio special from Lark Harbour, a town of about 500 that’s changed a lot in the past year.

A spring festival in Newfoundland that cerebrates music, storytelling, and nature turns 20 this month. Happy anniversary, Trails Tales Tunes! (There’s a link at the bottom of this article where you can listen to my full show from Norris Point on Friday.) https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/trails-tales-tunes-20-years-9.7203419

My son is pursuing his music career in the big city of Toronto. I’d love for you to have a listen to his cover of Jolene. (Like, share, follow, etc. 🙏) https://youtube.com/watch?v=xFPdnBfDDpA&si=ECi1X-HmMcRYg0f1
It’s pothole season where I live. What’s YOUR approach to potholes?
“Mr. Campbell’s desire to buy drugs was more important to him than a precious life. This is testimony to the evil of drugs and the wreckage they cause in our society,” said Justice Thomas Johnson in sentencing Justin Campbell. Campbell murdered his grandmother in 2023. #Newfoundland https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/justin-campbell-sentencing-hearing-9.7207848
@cassiapole@mastodon.social @ggmartin@mastodon.social I have family who live near there. Not far from Bay Bulls Big Pond.
Wood rarer than diamonds?! 💎I loved this bit of trivia this morning. Share YOUR photos of a tree or trees. https://share.google/AMz1mEkLQ8IOJriTI
@EllenInEdmonton@mstdn.ca Thank you for taking the time to listen.
@scott@mastodon.clitheroe.ca I have a similar photo from late May.
@scott@mastodon.clitheroe.ca Let me know your thoughts on where things stand now.
@cassiapole@mastodon.social Oh I love that! If you don’t mind me asking, where are they from? 🇩🇰🇨🇦
@hannaB@social.vir.group I’m familiar with the challenge. The triumph, not so much.
@Ashedryden@xoxo.zone So. Much. Slop. I can’t imagine that anyone pays to read it.
@aadeacon@mastodon.social Your point is taken. Bus service where I live doesn’t start until well after I get to work, which is before daylight for most of the year. Not everyone can walk or take the bus.
@jfmezei@cosocial.ca Yes indeed. An open tab on my computer since last February. lol
Remind me, is there a theme for #FotoMontag each week, or is it just whatever you want to share?
@jqmcd@sfba.social Close enough. Lovely to make your acquaintance.
