Been a while since I’ve written a post………been a while since I’ve taken any pictures too. The weather chick has been saying that it’s spring for about a month now but it’s still cold enough to freeze your balls off……..and raining 97.4% of the time…………which doesn’t leave much opportunity for taking pictures……….well, good pictures anyway. However, if you’re into grey and brown you’re in your element………………I hate the weather here.

Alright, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way we DID actually get two nice days last week, and it’s May………which means iceberg season. Here on the East Coast of Newfoundland (where I live) is part of what has become known as “Iceberg Alley”. That’s right…..all those lovely chunks of glacial ice that we’re melting off the ice caps at record speeds all make their way past our shores, creating quite a spectacle……and as you could imagine, quite the tourist attaction (I’m willing to bet that my site will get the most hits yet because of the iceberg tag in this post).

It’s becoming a bit of a tradition now…… the annual “iceberg hunt” along the Baccalieu Trail but I really didn’t expect this many this early in the season.

Probably the most exciting part of the trip is the traditional stop at Hogans takeout…..although Erin and Trevor would probably disagree…….something about the greasiness puts them on edge I guess……..whatever, that stuff is amazing.

It actually got to the point where I wouldn’t shoot them unless there was something else to the picture besides an iceberg………..but as you can see from the number of shots…..there rarely was.

………..I’ve pretty much run out of anything to say in between these pictures……other than that it’s been pretty much raining and foggy ever since those two days so I’m gonna have to get creative with the next post I guess…………but I’ve got an idea.
