Newfoundland trip images

[DJ & Chance]

Several members of the PG group descended on Donna, Quincy, and Gord a few weeks ago.  They were wonderful hosts and we had a grand time in the beautiful place where they live. Laurie will surely blog about our adventures at some point in time but meanwhile I thought it would be fun to share some of our photos here.  Here are a few I've developed thus far.  Hope others will contribute with images of whales, landscapes, people, Quincy, puffins, etc.--I miss the beauty and fun already.

SCOLL DOWN THROUGH THE DISCUSSION TO SEE IMAGES ADDED BY OTHERS.

Thanks, and I can't wait to see your images.

Wonderful images DJ. Thanks for sharing.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

DJ, these are wonderful images of a magical place!  I love your "local color" and  your foggy trails. You definitely got the money shot on the church.

[Carol and Banjo]

Gorgeous!   And I'm so envious!!!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

DJ thanks for posting this discussion. Awesome photos!  And F, thank you for starting the PG group! It was a week of good friends becoming forever friends, magnificent scenery, laughing till your sides hurt, road trips, hiking, and falling in mad love with an awesome doodle who came everywhere with us. Thank you Donna, Gord, and Quincy for opening your home and your hearts to us.  I'm sure no one believed we'd ever make the trek (including us) but I'm so glad we did.  Can't wait for Laurie's blog…She has so much material she may have to do a series :) 

Still working through pictures but here are few more shots...

Historical village of Trinity

Colorful dock.  Quidi Vidi.

The real deal...A Newfoundland native.

Covered in fog moments before…just can't get enough of NF's colorful houses ...

A seabird paradise

Seagull chicks

Soaring

Donna's baby bald eagles in the nest (thanks Donna for the use of your long lens!) No sibling love here. I'd say the littler one better learn to fly away soon!  Mom bring food!!

Reflection

Puffin kiss

[DJ & Chance]

Beautiful Cheryl! The puffin kiss is amazing . So cute and much closer than I was able to get.

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Thanks!  The puffin shot is cropped like crazy.  Did you notice the onlooker has his/her wings crossed lol.

[Janie, Jackson and Jilly]

Oh Cheryl, I love all of these! The puffin shot is adorable! I have yet to go through our photos, but I must find something awesome to confirm the top status reputation of our car! : ) Thank you again Donna, Quincy and Gord for sharing a little piece of your heaven with us! You have our hearts!

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

Get cracking, Janie :)) I'm sure F and Laurie have some amazing shots! And DJ's not done :) John has awesome shots no doubt but we'll never see them LOL Thank you! xoxo

[Cheryl and Finnegan]

How could I forget Donna and her camera?!  She was driving the "other car." We're toast unless you or Tom have something incredible :) :)

[F, Calla & Luca]

I love your puffins, seagull chicks and bald eaglets. the houses are great. Love the "puppy".
