I'm A Duck

Raven on a Lobster Trap

This guy sat on the lobster trap, in front of my house, for hours.

I went out and gave him some fresh Cod.

He ate that up quick!

Mine! Mine! The Sea Gull Frenzy.

They wait!

And watch.

The frenzy begins. Mine! Mine!

Get off that's MINE!!!

You took MINE!!!!

Not much left.

Time to look some place else.

A fisherman had put his net on the shore and

it had a few dead fish left in it.

That's what started the feeding frenzy.

The Slowest Waterfall in Newfoundland

I photographed this on a cliff near my house in Bellevue.

It is a green slime waterfall. Got to be the slowest

our house in Bellevue. We call him Heathcliff. He had a girlfriend

for a while. We called her Gertrude. (Red Skeleton TV Show)

We have a large number of Eagles in Bellevue. They stay through

the winter. This one just finished diving into the water,

They are wonderful to watch, they soar right over our house.

Lichen Forest

We have wonderful Lichen forests here. This picture was taken

in Bellevue just down the road where I live.

The Lichen need very fresh air with no pollutants to survive.

We have great air here!!

A St. John's Street

This street has two Antiques stores on it ... but the prices were too

high for me to buy things.

Port Aux Basques Cemetery

I came across on the Ferry that lands at Port aux Basques. The

Ferry goes past an old cemetery on the cliff side.

The graves must be very shallow because it is super rocky there.

Africa Mountain

This mountain is just across the Bay of Bellevue,

on the Trinity Bay side. If you look carefully you will see

a Lion, an Elephant and a Hippopotamus (Right to left).

That's why I call it Africa Mountain!

This is the lookout at Bellevue Beach Park. A privately owned

campground just down the road from us. The campground is very nice, with a fantastic

beach and lovely camp spots.

These Wild iris grow on the pebbly beach on

the Trinity Bay side of Bellevue.

Wedding on a Wharf

Fishermen in Bellevue are very proud of their boats,

so much so that they have held photo shoots of their family

weddings on their wharf.

The beginning of a wharf

Launching bottom frame. (crib)

Building the underwater frame. (crib)

The wharf is then towed into position, filled with rocks and built up with more logs

until it sinks to the bottom.

Wharf Ice

The salt spray freezes on anything close to the shore.

Bellevue Wharves

They are just to the right of my house in Bellevue.

Last summer a Moose swam across the bay and got out

here and went up to the road and walked down the road past the church on the hill.

Square Lobster Traps

They are rare to see, but still used in Newfoundland.

My New ATV

Getting my Wife Carol to clean my ATV ...

Fog (of course) in Bellevue Bay

We do get some fog here in Bellevue, NL.

Moose across our street.

A few days ago one of our neighbours called me out to the street.

He pointed up into the woods and said get your camera. About

100 feet away the Moose stood waiting to come down

and eat my daffodils out of my garden.
