Arctic Tern

These little creatures I found are the hardest things I've ever photographed, as they move so fast and dart up and down all over the place. You sure need a quick steady hand and that can be hard holding a camera with a telephoto lens.

Osprey

The osprey is fascinating to watch. It can spot a meal of decent sized trout from quite a distance as it hovers in the air, beating its wings readying itself to take a quick descent toward its unsuspecting prey.

When a friend of mine saw this photo she said she could envision "little fairies or leprechauns" dancing about. Newfoundland has its share of interesting fairy folklore that's for sure!

Abandoned

Holyrood ~ Conception Bay South

Something always sparks my imagination whenever I see old abandoned homes such as this one. What sights, sounds had it grown accustomed to, the echo of laughter, a creaking floor, children playing who have long since grown and moved on, delicate frost patterns on a window pane...now sheep graze here to keep it company.
