St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador:
The name has been attributed to John Cabot, who is said to have reached the area on the Nativity of John the Baptist in 1497.
The name could also come from the Spanish, who called the area São João in 1519.

The large weathervane mounted on a telephone pole at sunset last night. This weathervane was made by several artists to depict all of the wild animals located in Gros Morne National Park.
I had to go out for a while last night and decided to take a few night shots which I have rarely done lately. It is beginning to look white around our house now.
Well if this does not prove spring is here nothing does. 15 years ago I planted hundreds of these crocuses in the yard everywhere and they are still the first flower to pop up in spring. These jumped out of the ground last night.
How many of you remember, or actually still have, one of these large ceramic bowls that are used for mixing bread dough. They were a staple item in every kitchen in Newfoundland many years ago.
