I was so lucky to catch today’s G2-G3 storm. I drove 3h up north with my puppy and enjoyed the moment. It was cold but worth it.

First trip to NL and certainly not the last! What a beautiful province. I'm so grateful to live in such a beautiful, ecologically diverse country!

Still can't believe how lucky I was yesterday. Expected nothing other than overcast sky, but, what a surprise!

18. This is the Cairn constructed by the Franklin Expedition sailors while trapped in the bay for the first winter.  It was placed approximately 200 meters up at the top of the island. In my mind this is the “Long forgotten, lonely cairn of stone’ Stan Rogers sang of in Northwest Passage.

Nothing is gonna get done for the next 2-3 weeks till there are these many colors outside 💛🧡💚❤️🤎

It was a total joy visiting the Jacques Cartier National park and staying in a near-ish cottage in Sainte-Brigitte-de-Laval. And all the leaves were aflame all the way! Even just driving around was incredibly beautiful, among all those wild mountains.
