Back from the Rock

I just returned from 10 days hiking the East Coast Trail in Nfld.   It is a fabulous trail!    We hiked around 87 km of trail in weather ranging from hot sun to cloud, fog and pouring rain - even a thunderstorm!   We saw several whales as we walked along the cliffs and even saw a pod of orca whales - who were seen attacking a minke whale the day before we spotted them.   I'm glad I wasn't a witness to that event.   However when we went out whale watching a few days later we did not see a single whale - lots of puffins and mures though.  We strolled the lovely city of St. John's, visited craft shops and galleries, and photographed the colourful houses.

I have some great photos which I'm sure will be inspiration for wall hangings and maybe paintings.  As soon as I download my photos I will post some on my blog.  Now to quilting.
