Lovely scenes of Torbay, a 450-year-old suburb of St. John's. And life really is this boring there.



I especially love her singing that the grass there is greener than anywhere over scenes of a half-dead lawn.

Very well done. Torbay never looked as good as it does in this video. I must say the hiking trails in the area are some of the best you will find.

Heading from Torbay to Flatrock on the ECT is amazing. Those are probably the highest cliffs on the ECT within an easy afternoon hike from St. John's.

Actually, Canada's Arctic region is our only true desert.

I've been to the Great Sand Hills in Saskatchewan. It looks like a 'real desert'.

Same thing with the Spirit Sands dunes here in Manitoba, but neither of these are true deserts. There are no true deserts in any Canadian provinces as they do not meet the annual precipitation criteria to be classified as deserts. Only in the Arctic region are there areas that can be truly classified as deserts.

Few photos from the hike to Whyte Lake in West Vancouver.



The trail goes under the Upper Levels Highway.







It's a nice short hike through a calm Nelson Canyon Park.









Whyte Lake itself is a tiny forest lake.

A couple of shots from the area where I grew up, collectively known as Fortune Bay East, on the Burin Peninsula of Newfoundland. The one thing I've always appreciated about this area of the island are the rolling hills, way better than the flat barrens These photos are courtesy of Marilyn Marshall Photography.

And a few older shots...
