Scenes from Newfoundland

Newfoundland is one of my favorite places to visit because it is great for photography of wildlife, scenic coastlines, and quaint harbors. Years ago I visited Newfoundland with a friend and the next year conducted a small tour there that included Labrador. In 2023 another friend and I visited the Canadian island again. What I experienced on that trip convinced me to offer tours there again. In June & July 2024, I created and conducted two tours concentrating on the Avalon and. Bonavist Penninsulas. Below you can find the locations visited including St John’s, Quidi Vidi, Witless Bay, Cape St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve, St. Brides, Bonavista, and the town of Trinity. Images in this blog include photos from these locations.

During the week between the two 2024 tours, I visited areas I had not seen before–Change Island and Fogo Island, both north of the Bonavista Peninsula. In this blog, I included a few images from these islands. Also included are 3 icebergs photos taken in 2023 near Main Brook. Typically each year icebergs originate in Greenland and drift south in May & early June reaching Trinity Bay. But in 2023, the bergs never reached locations farther south than St. Anthony’s.

Newfoundland

Newfoundland has to be one of my favorite places to visit- some of my favorite animals, great vistas, and charming harbors and not crowed with visitors. I just returned from Newfoundland at the end of July. This was my 4th trip to the island and my 2nd with a tour group. This part of Canada has to be one of my favorite.

This upcoming July I am repeating the tours but slightly later in the summer than before to have more opportunities to photograph whales. The tours are already partially full. (If interested, please contact ASAP me for details and prices.)
On my last trip I covered 3 popular regions of Newfoundland – St. Johns/Avalon Peninsula, St. Brides (St. Mary’s Ecological Reserve), and Bonavista Peninsula including the historic town of Trinity and Bonavista. In years past I did venture farther north and a few images from those trips are included.

In this blog I am concentrating on Newfoundland wildlife.
