It’s been 8 days since I posted a picture of my favourite wooden boat photographic muse. It’s on shore in Back Harbour Twillingate and it calls to me each time I visit. I wish I knew a bit more about its story-can anyone shed some light?The view from my classroom window this morning…If I could just spread my wings and fly…often said on a steep descent to save knees and toes! In other words, Marian making TA’s favourite shape on the top of Gibbet Hill!We had a family canoe outing with the grand young humans. We catamaraned the canoes to make the trip super fun (think party boat for toddlers) and super safe (virtually impossible to tip). This is a technique I also use when adapting canoeing for folks with various disabilities who might benefit from some extra stability. You can also see that Marian and I had a win in getting “proof of concept” on our canoe outrigger situation (again these will add additional stability for anyone who needs it). So fun to see Long Pond through the eyes of young ones.The sky, the sky, the sky…as seen from my one my newest favourite spots on Signal Hill for a view. I usually only have to share it with the birds.Craving views-Signal Hill offers them in every direction and every part of the day from sunrise to sunset!TA’s Facebook Page

Good to hear you from Camp 3! Continuing to send you lots of strong, positive energy as you continue your acclimatization climb. TA, you are totally awesome!
Hey TA, Congrats on making it to Camp 3. We just finished listening to your audio post and we are blown away by your strength and courage. 7.5 hours of climbing is outstanding. We really hope your cough starts to go away real soon. Good luck and we’ll keep listening 🙂
Question from Janaya (St.Joseph’s Elementary, Hr. Breton) – at what point do climbers wear oxygen masks?
Dalton: Is Camp 4 the last camp? Is there a camp at the summit?
Rianna: Even with all of your warm gear on, do you find it cold sometimes?
We wish you well TA…we look forward to checking your posts daily!
