I spent three summers working with the Geological Survey in Central Labrador, NF, Canada doing till geochemistry / drift prospecting research. What a wonderful experience.
From Wikipedia, three excerpts:
Labrador is the distinct, northerly region of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It comprises the mainland portion of the province, separated from the island of Newfoundland by the Strait of Belle Isle. It is the largest and northernmost geographical region in Atlantic Canada.
Labrador occupies the eastern part of the Labrador Peninsula, in an area slightly larger than the US state of Colorado. It is bordered to the west and the south by the Canadian province of Quebec. Labrador also shares a small land border with the Canadian territory of Nunavut on Killiniq Island.
Though Labrador's area is over twice that of the island of Newfoundland, it has only 6% of the province's population. The aboriginal peoples of Labrador include the Northern Inuit of Nunatsiavut, the Southern Inuit-métis of Nunatukavut (NunatuKavut), and the Innu. The non-aboriginal population in Labrador did not permanently settle in Labrador until the natural resource developments of the 1940s and 1950s. Before the 1950s, very few non-aboriginal people lived in Labrador year round. The few European immigrants who worked seasonally for foreign merchants and brought their families were known as Settlers.
The Geological Survey of Canada (GSC) (French: Commission Géologique du Canada (CGC)) is part of the Earth Sciences Sector of Natural Resources Canada. GSC is responsible for performing geologic surveys of the country, developing Canada's natural resources and protecting the environment. The GSC is the country's oldest scientific agency and one of its first government organizations.

During the last major glaciation, the Wisconsin, ice sheets covered most of Canada. These ice sheets scoured large areas of bedrock and transported this scoured material in a down ice direction where it was deposited as glacial sediments, most notably till. In some locations till contains minerals of economic value. Till such as this can be traced in an up ice direction to its source which may be a mineralized rock outcrop or till covered bedrock, this technique is known as drift prospecting.
Drift prospecting was originally developed in Finland, and was first researched in Canada in the 1950’s, since then it has been used extensively as an important mineral exploration tool. (GSC,2006). During the past few decades many valuable mineral deposits have been discovered such as copper ore, uranium, and most notably the Kimberlite deposit near Lac de Gras, Northwest Territories which is now a fully operational mine
Retriever do Labrador (ou carinhosamente, Labrador ou Lab), é uma das mais conhecidas raças de cão. Notabiliza-se por sua amabilidade, inteligência e obediência. Devido a estas caracterÃsticas, são frequentemente treinados para cães de caça, de assistência, como cães-guia ou de serviço. A raça Labrador é uma das mais populares em todo o mundo, em especial nos Estados Unidos e Europa.
Ótimo cão de companhia, mas atenção, pois este cão adora estar na presença de humanos e odeia estar sozinho. Não é, de todo, adequado para alguém que esteja fora de casa por longas horas durante o dia.
O nome "retriever" deve-se ao facto de o Labrador ter como principal função a busca de caça abatida. Existem mais raças na famÃlia dos "retrievers", como, o Golden Retriever, o Toller Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever), o Curlie Coated Retriever, o Chesapeake Bay Retriever ou o Flat Coated Retriever.

The Labrador Retriever (also Labrador, or Lab for short) is one of several kinds of retriever, a type of gun dog. The Labrador, once known as the Lesser Newfoundland, is the most popular breed of dog (by registered ownership) in the world, and is by a large margin the most popular breed by registration in the United States (since 1991), and the United Kingdom. It is also the most popular breed of assistance dog in the United States, Australia, and many other countries, as well as being widely used by police and other official bodies for their detection and working abilities.
Sadie's first ever bathtime went.. well. :')
Just a little colour for my stream.
I'm really excited to get some film developed and hopefully show you the results. Some of them are still from last september! So it'll be great finding memories I've forgotten.
more to come in comments.

Labrador Park, also known as Labrador Nature Reserve, is located in the southern part of the main island of Singapore. It contains the only rocky sea-cliff on the mainland that is accessible to the public. Since 2002, 10 hectares of coastal secondary vegetation and its rocky shore have been gazetted as a Nature Reserve.
Labrador shore is the last mainland site in the south where you can experience a natural rocky shore, coastal forest and seagrass meadows.

Foxy has had two litters and we have received several phone calls from parents of her pups. They have all commented on trainability and mellow disposition. She's a keeper!

I flew here from Goose Bay to visit a friend from school and his family. This was taken the night before we headed south to Zoar bay for a few days.
- Nain is the northernmost inhabited town on the north Labrador coast. I was here only one month (!) before the Voisey Bay nickel discovery, "one of the world's richest deposits of nickel ore. The rush to stake out claims was dramatic. By '96, Diamond Fields Resources Inc. estimated that the complete deposit contained 100 million tonnes of ore." So Northern Labrador changed forever and dramatically one month after this was taken.
- Nain is one of a number of Moravian missions, with churches built with wood brought from Europe in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. From the net: "These communities became centers for religious, social, and trade activities, but a sedentary resident population didn't develop. There were no alternatives to a subsistence economy based on hunting, fishing, and trapping [still the case]...Even today, villages are but stopping-off points in the yearly round of seasonal activities which cover huge areas of land and sea....In the face of highly commercial European operations over the centuries, the Moravians might have saved Inuit culture from extinction in Labrador. They arrived from Greenland already fluent in Inuktitut, developed an Inuit phonetic script, and opened trading posts. When a smallpox epidemic in the early 1800s wiped out most of the southern Inuit settlements, they moved them north to avoid further contact with the whites."

I noticed when wearing a collar Ralph scratching himself a lot, and takes a hair off around it, but with just his chain he is fine. He has always had a sensitive skin, so no more collars for our big boy;)
