Our good friend and neighbour, Albert Legge, is also a great photographer, so sometimes he takes lovely photos for us to share on the blog. We love showcasing all the wonder that is the Baccalieu Trail – we’re just happy to be a part of it! The trees practically on fire with their deep reds this Fall have been quite dramatic – and certainly a photographers dream. Thanks to Albert for sharing!
Two Trees
Saturday on the blog we try to showcase the natural beauty of Newfoundland. Of course, there’s poetry all around us in this beautiful province. Here’s two trees as seen from our back patio, standing alone on the snowy water’s edge – with the sun out it’s a perfect winter wonderland. Have a great weekend.
Yes, Laurelyn, It is Going in the Living Room
Clark/Jerry: We’re kicking off our fun old fashion family Christmas by heading out into the country in the old front-wheel drive sleigh to embrace the frosty majesty of the winter landscape and select that most important of Christmas symbols.
Audrey/The Berry: We’re not coming all the way out here just to get one of those stupid ties with Santa Clauses on it are we?
Clark/Jerry: No, I have one of those at home.

(Perhaps sadly), no movie captures my approach to Christmas quite like Christmas Vacation. What can I say – I like to go all out and for better or worse I’m a big family guy, so I identify with Clark! And now that we’re living in rural Newfoundland, I came one step closer to the movie – we cut down our own tree.
With The Berry, Joe and Murphy along, we set out to find the perfect tree. It is just a bit smaller than the infamous one from the movie, but still stunning. We’re waiting for my daughter to stay with us before we decorate – I can’t wait!
And remember we still have a contest to win a free stay at the cottages – make sure you add your name to the list. Maybe you’ll be out in this winter wonderland with us!
