Budding Saturday: Our Furry, Feathered Friends

This week I’m not only showcasing Bud Vincent’s beautiful pictures (that perfectly capture our beautiful province) but also his beautiful words. Sometimes Bud gives me some context for his pictures, and this particular email I wanted to share with you (see below). And remember, I’m using this space on Saturdays to feature Newfoundland artists, so please let me know if you have anything you’d like to share!

“For those of you who have furry, feathered friends around your property too, please ensure that they are fed. They, like us, need food to survive – especially at this time of the year, for the next number of months…

Remember these are creatures of God….Yes, the wonderful wonders of God…..Placed on earth for our complete enjoyment and pleasure…Yes, over the past number of years since I made the transition from being a ‘townie’, to becoming ‘a bayman’ – my real roots – we, as a family have taken a sincere interest in all sorts of animals, small and large….. Give it a whirl, you’ll love it too….”
