Looking on from Cape Spear on a brighter late season day.We’re changing from autumn to winter with the ice and snow knocking at the door. It reminds me of last March when the shifting pack ice signalled the turn the other way.You never know who might fly by when out on the @eastcoasttrail…A skiff of snow adds a layer of fresh delight and a hint that we are at winter’s door. Bring on the snow I say-I love winter! (Don’t hate me too much).The shades and hues of morning in Twillingate. Up early to take a hike, I caught this fishers coming into the harbour.Still waters run deep…and take you on grand adventures.TA’s Facebook Page
