verheiratet,Christin, I need to believe that something extraordinary is possible!

We have already made a negative impact on American tourism revenue by SHOPPING CANADIAN, which in turn gave Canada its best tourist season ever. Continue to do the same thing with cars and shop Canadian only. Keep your money in Canada supporting Canadians.

When we cannot see some clear sky above the horizon in the morning that generally means we are in for a cloudy day here. Oh well, we have just had weeks of nice sunny weather so we have nothing to complain about. It is 6 degrees now and heading for a daytime high of 11 degrees.

The cool weather is here to stay. Soon these red chairs will be stored away before the snow begins. Some parts of Newfoundland and Labrador have already seen snow. We get at least some here right around Halloween so it could happen and time now in low nighttime temperatures.

Well Miss Jersey, I suppose it is too cold for you to hang your head out of the window this morning.

An old fishing shed on the shoreline at Bakers Brook, just north of Rocky Harbour.

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

Moooo!

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

One of the many hiking trails around the coastline near our lighthouse.

A cloudy day at the lighthouse and it will not get much better than this today.

A view from the entrance to our harbour.

An immature eagle. They do not get their full bald eagle colours until they are around five years old.

A young red fox on the side of the road looking for handouts. Sadly the tourists who fed them are gone now and this little guy will probably not make it over the winter as he does not know how to hunt for food. I wish people understood this before they feed wild animals.

Cormorants and seagulls sharing the same rest area. I hope you are all having a good day somewhere, and until tomorrow then friends…..

A cool cloudy morning at Rocky Harbour pond. It is 8 degrees just now and heading for a high of 12 degrees today. Summer is long gone now.

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

The colours of fall. Even the reeds in the pond have turned yellow now.

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

This small bird singing its heart out in an effort to stay warm this morning.

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

Jersey paying pretty strict attention to that light hint of white stuff in the grass this morning.

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

It seems to me that winter is not that far away now. I wonder what kind of winter we will have this year. Last winter was very mild.

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

Rocky Harbour. Do you have any questions about our name yet?

[Stan Collins @stan_sdcollins]

Dead Cow Parsley all along the coastline. These highly invasive plants can grow 6-8 feet high and are about the size of large sunflowers. Their dead stalks are as strong as a bamboo chute once they dry out.

A meadow filled with starlings. They fly together in their hundreds making wonderful murations as they go. Real aerial acrobats who have perfected formation flying. Have you ever watched this?
