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!What a morning. I could hardly hike as I had to keep stopping to take pictures. After a windy winter, this relatively wind still spring has been such a treat.Me and my red shoes perched high above St. John’s during our sunset hike this evening.TA’s Facebook Page
