Coming back down the hill
Family snap
A second in my teapot
Amanita muscaria
Another world upside-down
Puddle
Corner
The flies find them first
Road under road
Hose
Doctoral defence
One of Dad's knives
Baby graves
Can't pass up a shiny surface
Suppertime at the X-Ray lab
L dropt by to chat
Ben's family
Dark weather
Two of my siblings
My five sisters
Out for a spin
A new Dr Mu
Bananas
E and C clapboarding
And, just to prove her point . . .
Bluebells
"Slippery"? TMI?
Wasps in my mast
Jack in the rain
Coprology? Is that the word?
At the cape
Motion Bay
Damaged negatives
Water from my grandfather's spring well
Passing the chips stands
New drain, old water
32 degrees at Cape Bonavista
Quiet afternoon
At a birthday party
Do not ask
The promise broken again
Massimo, a modern-day penitent, a would-be prophet
Bella ciao bella ciao bella ciao ciao ciao
The three friends photographing their pet in Flore…
Orvieto cats

Family obsession


Here are my sister and her son. We were all taking pictures.
This harbour was officially (and locally) known as Fox Harbour, but a
hundred years ago the Newfoundland Post Office got fed up with so many
coves named Fox Harbour (and Long Pond, Caplin Cove, Freshwater, etc.)
that they asked most of them to change their names. Being the harbour
right at the entrance to, and on the south side of, Southwest Arm of
Trinity Bay, the people of this Fox Harbour chose the rather
unlocal-sounding name Southport. Unlocal was what the Post Office
wanted -- so that it would be different from all the other
communities.
A hundred years later it is still Southport, though the name Fox
Harbour was kept in the name of the island just at the left: Fox
Harbour Island, or just Fox Island. No one lived there so the Post
Office didn't care. Just before I took this picture, my sister
pointed out that our ancestors had settled on another Fox Island in
Trinity Bay, but about forty km northeast of this spot. That was in
the 17th century.
