As many of you know, just last week I returned from Newfoundland. We were there to visit my husbands family. While I had never been to Newfoundland before, I had seen a number of pictures showcasing the gorgeous scenery, but when I started to capture some of them for myself — well, I was tickled silly. The ocean, the spruce trees, the color, rocks, light houses, boats and colorful row houses were all enough to take my breath away each and every day. The first two days were absolutely BEAUTIFUL and thankfully we were out taking advantage of that, as a typical day might be wet and foggy. Seriously, the sights, sounds and smells made me wish I could bottle it all up and save those moments so that I could revisit every now and again. Unfortunately, that’s not possible — but pictures do allow for that recollection. Here is a snapshot of some of the landscape and history that we experienced.
While you might not be there in person, I hope these images take your breath away!
Pictured above:

Row Houses on Gower St. in St. John’s ~ Three Sisters at Mad Rock

I’ll be partying {here, here, here and here}.

Looks a lovely place, looks like it has a very English feel to it.
Kelly says
It is a beautiful place, Deanne. They have quite a few English traditions — so it’s probably safe to say there is an English feel 😉 Have a fabulous week.

You just made my night again! Thank you for showcasing our beautiful home – not enough people know it exists!
Kelly says
I’m so glad to hear that, Sarah! You are so right — not enough people do know it exists., and they’re missing out!! Hugs to you, friend.

So pretty! Your pics make you feel like you’re right there. Definitely adding it to my list of places to see. Had the pleasure of traveling to Barcelona this summer. Hope you will stop by and have a look.
Kelly says
Thanks so much, Joselyn!! It is a gorgeous province and a must see! I stopped by and attempted to leave a comment, I’m guessing it went to spam (booo!). Thanks for stopping by! Have a lovely week. Hugs!
April says
Your pictures are beautiful! I didn’t know other places have fireweed too – do they measure the length of summer by the height of the blooms there? We (Alaska) do – looking at your picture is what ours look like as well and we’re at the end of summer, but I thought that was just us. Our leaves are starting to fall. Thank you for sharing such pretty pictures with us.
Kelly says
Hi April! Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m not sure on the fireweed., hubby wasn’t too sure either. Good question 🙂 Have a fabulous week. HUGS!

Newfoundland is my home! I now live in Alberta and miss it terribly. Love your pics and your post. If you havne’t been to Newfoundland you should certainly go, there’s so much beauty and culture! It’s an unbelievable place.
Kelly says
Hi Kelly! Alberta is lovely too. About 6 years ago we visited Banff. GORGEOUS. Thanks so much for stopping by 🙂 Have a lovely week.
