Perched on a rugged cliff at our continent's most easterly point lies Cape Spear Lighthouse – the oldest surviving lighthouse in Newfoundland.
One of my favourite stops on our trip to Newfoundland last year was Spillars Cove. Such a beautiful location for photography.
Cape Spear is a headland located on the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland near St. John's in the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. At a longitude of 52°37' W, it is the easternmost point in Canada and North America, excluding Greenland.
The Newfoundland is a large working dog. They can be either black, brown, grey, or white-and-black. However, in the Dominion of Newfoundland, before it became part of the confederation of Canada, only black and Landseer coloured dogs were considered to be proper members of the breed.
My daughter used to babysit one of these dogs for one professor in college, she said, every time she let him out, he'd just sit on the ground, not moving at all. She'd have such a hard time to get him up. They're BIG dogs, you know. :-))
There were so many of these guys flying around Gros Morne National Park it was unbelievable. I tried to capture a photo of them swarming in the air but it is difficult to do. See below for my attempt - there were hundreds of them hovering in the evergreens.

This photograph was composed while driving through rural Newfoundland. Scenes such as this are common - and help paint a picture of a way of life: dependent on the sea; somewhat solitary; resilient; awe-inspiring.
'Louie the Louse', AKA Larry the Lobster, was finally caught trying to break into a baited trap in Newfoundland.
The lobster trap owner was glad to get his hands on Louie, and had him detained in a special holding tank...one for lobsters larger than life. (Notice the claw-cuffs.) This one could have been ours for $15, but we opted for two somewhat smaller, @ $5 each.
One of many until-now overlooked photos taken during a wonderful five-week sojourn in Canada's island province in 2007.
We were in search of icebergs around Twillingate when we spotted a couple taking photos of this gorgeous Newfoundland dog. I had to ask if I could snap a few shots. It was nice to have an iceberg in the background as well.
