Through my Lens: In the Hay Loft

As the fields become golden in colour, it is almost time for harvest!
A little look back at my summer in NL.
I didn't actually help with the mowing of the hay, but I helped turn it in the fields and pack it in to the hayloft. Hard work!

Eyelash Envy

When I was living in Newfoundland I had the chance to hike out to a beautiful place, called Chimney Cove, to see the community's cows at pasture. Such beautiful creatures, and look at those eyelashes! This was a great day, with a challenging but rewarding hike! I will share more photos of the view later. I just can't get over how curious and gentle these animals are. I was even able to approach them and feel the soft fur between their eyes. These cows have a great life, they spend their summers by the sea with lots of fresh grass and water, and most spend their winter gorging on hay in a local barn.











The other day I was snuggling on the couch with my nephew loo, and as he pretended to sleep I noticed his luscious lashes and remembered a time when my mom used to make daily comments about the unfairness of my long black eyelashes.

And my niece, Beri, has them too! Ohh the injustice of getting old!
