Made the mistake of coming to our happy place for a few days and now I donโ€™t want to leave! Spring is here, the bay ice is breaking up and itโ€™ll soon be time to get the boat on collar.

The wind can whistle through the valley and across the bay here something fierce at times - but there are mornings like this to remind us just how still it can be.

Of all my years with a camera, this iceberg in particular has been responsible for the most early morning trips to Point Amour. Iโ€™ve witnessed it change shapes, tilt, turn and now vanish in the NE wind we are having today. It was a great bit of fun while it lasted!

Needed to clear my head, so I headed up on the hill with a Tetley in new pottery from PEI (love love love this one) and a handful of Peak Freans. Think it worked.

I work hard for these today. Weโ€™ve been getting unseasonably warm conditions in these parts. The berries spoil quickly and it makes getting them tougher too.

#OnThisDay in 1922, the Royal Navy HMS Raleigh ran aground at Point Amour, Labrador. The flagship of the North America and West Indies Squadron and was on a goodwill tour. 12 sailors died and more than 700 got ashore. The ship was blasted apart in 1926, as it was an embarrassment

Thereโ€™s blocky ones, wedged, pinnacle and dry dock. Then thereโ€™s the icing on the cake - the ones with a hole straight through the middle! NewfoundlandLabrador #Iceberg
