The sea fog was just lifting as we found this little house.
I couldn't resist that red door and frame on this beautiful old barn.
Cute little ol' Chevrolet Viking pickup truck, well, half of one!
A cute little bando found a couple of weekends ago, with a little splash of wildflower colour.
The vivid yellow of the flowers against the weathered door were too enticing not to capture.
Ahhh yes, my favourite bando, and the first time I have captured in in the Summer.
A nice one level bando with such neatly mown surroundings.
Not sure if this was a barn or a house, but it made a great scene.
While vacationing in New Brunswick I came across dozens of Frogs in a large marsh area. Fun to listen to their chorus and sounds.
Finally!!! We finally got to visit the Point Wolfe covered bridge in Fundy National Park. Last year we attempted to visit, but the road was closed. To my knowledge, this is the only painted bridge in NB. It is, in fact, a very recent bridge, but there were four more at this same site going back to 1853 (according to Wikipedia). This latest rendition is the result of an embarrassing engineering booboo in 1990. They wanted to remove a large rock above the bridge, and decided to use explosives. I mean, what could go wrong-right? After the dust had cleared, the rock was no longer a threat to the bridge, because... wait for it...the rock had fallen on top of the bridge resulting in the fifth bridge on the spot. Modern solutions for modern problems. lol Unfortunately, this day, I was fighting the angle of the sun the whole time, but I was moderately satisfied with the results. Sadly, the second bridge I had lined up to shoot could not be found. Might have something to do with the fact that they destroyed it earlier this year and replaced it with a rather uninspiring monstrosity. Another one bites the dust. There's a fascinating history to this place that you can read about in Wikipedia.

L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site is an archaeological site located in far northern Newfoundland, Canada.
Around 1000 AD, the Norwegian Viking Leif Erikson was the first European to establish a colony in North America. His adventures in "Vinland" were described in two medieval Icelandic manuscripts: "The Greenlander Saga" and "Erik's Saga". It is thought the colony existed, off-and-on, for about 10 years. They fled because of constant attacks from "Skraelings", the native residents.
Today, the site consists of a visitor center (containing items discovered during the archaeological investigation), foundations of the nine unearthed buildings and a recreated Viking settlement.
Being of Norwegian descent, I was excited to visit this fascinating site.
This is excavated Building J. It was the forge and smithy. It was removed from the other building because of the fire hazard.
