Continuing on our discovery theme, we hiked the Shoal Bay River trail and discovered a beautiful walk amid colourful trees. We could hear and see the river most of the way so the soothing sound and sights left us relaxed and nicely tired.We explored and hiked the Discovery Trail route today. We had such fun discovering gems like this and our posing fox. There were forests afire with fall leaves, sea cliffs, and gorgeous hikes. A hat trick day for sure!So, this dear one decided to pose for a portrait today. It approached the car, hoping we’d be bad humans, and feed it but we didn’t so it sat down hoping to change our mind with its cuteness. Eventually, it grew tired of posing with no caloric reward and moved on down the beach. So amazing to capture its beauty.How excited are we to be headed out to hike amid the fall colours? This excited!We’re back on the island of Newfoundland and enjoyed a short hike besides Pipers Hole River once again to take in the magnificently gorgeous autumn leaves. The drive North was beautiful with the sun occasionally peeking through to light up parts of the bogs and marshes who are also joining the fall colour revolution.A view into a window on Ile aux Marin revealed the history of the island.TA’s Facebook Page
