Signs of Spring at the Colonial Building, Downtown St. John's, Newfoundland
These bold red tulips are certainly a cheery sign that spring has arrived in St. John’s. I saw these bright flowers while walking in downtown St. John’s on Saturday afternoon and couldn’t resist a photo.
On Saturday, I enjoyed some of the fabulous sunny weather by taking a walk along the waterfront in St. John’s with my camera. As it happened, the submarine HMCS Corner Brook happened to be docked in port for a few days with a few naval officers answering questions from passers-by. Unfortunately there were no tours – it is on active duty after all – but nonetheless it was interesting to see this submarine up this close and get some great photos of it. It’s not everyday you see something like this in St. John’s.

Sunset at Bauline Marina, Newfoundland
I visited Bauline in September and was lucky enough to come upon this marina just as the sun was setting over Conception Bay. It was a beautiful sight. The seagulls overhead seemed to enjoy the crisp autumn air as much as I did!
Late Autumn Sunset
There are only a few colours of autumn left showing in the trees this year, the weather has stripped most of the leaves from the trees. The colours in the sky as the sun set this evening however more than made up the difference.
