A couple of weekends ago, my husband and I visited friends who had relocated to the town of Bonavista last year. It was a three and a half hour drive away, the weather was lovely and it was our first time seeing the beautiful and historic town, so of course I had my camera ready. It was extremely difficult to narrow down the photos to only these!








A writers paradise; a town this rich with history and such vibrant scenery sets the imagination at full speed. You are a true artist Jennifer. What you’ve captured here is nothing short of spectacular!!

Please clarify in the blog post where Bonavista is located. It wasn’t clear to me….as a Canadian. In Newfoundland or?

Most of my followers know that four hours away is still in Newfoundland for me, but I also added Newfoundland, Canada as tags, along with Bonavista of course, for those who wouldn’t know. Thanks for stopping by!

What a picturesque and quaint town. Haven’t been since 500th Anniversary John Cabot Celebrations of ’97 (when the Queen visited!). Man oh man, it only grows more beautiful with time and distance!

Absolutely beautiful, as always! I can’t remember if I’ve asked before.. but what type of camera do you use?

Thanks! It’s only a little Kodak M550, but it works great for these sort of photos. Not good for close ups and night shots, so I’m hoping Santa will bring me an upgrade. 😉

thanks I’ve practising! Lard Tunderin’ Jesus and one of the funniest line I’ve heard from a Newfoundlander that drew the biggest belly laugh with tears streaming down my face was: “I’m so hungry I could eat the arse off a skunk!”
