Rustic Newfoundland by Weezilou

Rustic Newfoundland

Pam @pamknowler went traveling in Newfoundland with us, and Joy @joysfocus is currently staying with us here in Lunenburg. With the perspective of time, I realize that "rustic" is one of the apt descriptions of Newfoundland ("Quaint" is a word i keep using to describe Lunenburg and the surrounds. If you've lived in these locations for many generations of families raised here, you might not see it this way. But for those who are traveling through from the many ports around the world, "quaint" and "rustic" are those things that draw us.

I haven't even had time to look through my photos, and am only now seeing what I took on this day. I'm choosing the ones I like as I go through for the strong memories of "time and place".
This was another one of those little Outports along the coast. All so fascinating. Remember the man with the beard? What a know it all about both of our countries!! He should have kept quiet!! LOL!! I love this image Louise - I am not sure that shack will be there for much longer!! Fav!

Oh this is wonderful. I much prefer rustic to decrepit- I'm like Pam, not sure it will be around much longer!

Neat shot of that rickety looking little house...I like the background terrain.

Well that looks really precarious. Great find!
July 17th, 2017  
That's pretty rickety - please tell me it isn't still in use?!

It is scenes like this that attract my eye. I see beauty in its history. It says so much

@elkereturns let's put it this way... I didn't knock on the door! A seagull did land on the roof and didn't bring it down but to seagulls might do it!

@pamknowler @aglennc @kerristephens @maggiemae @pyrrhula @louannwarren @koalagardens @seattlite @shepherdmanswife @elkereturns @777margo @joansmor @danette @littleconnie @digitalrn thank you all so much for your comments and notes! In time I'll be able to leave better replies but for now I have to say that some of your comments led me to remember this childhood poem that began... There was a crooked man and he had a crooked house... It just seems to continue all the way up that path!

Howdy, Louise! So wonderful to see your name and photos appearing today. I've missed you and your wonderful photos . . . and I've missed sharing my cute critter photos with you. At the beginning of July we said goodbye to Ontario and are now in Manitoba at the cottage on Lake Winnipeg. Something funny I wanted to share with you . . . I was showing my mother-in-law some of your photos from Newfoundland and Lunenburg at which time she corrected my pronunciation of "Lunenburg" . . . all this time I've been pronouncing it with a short "u". So now, thanks to my 98 year old mother-in-law, I know the correct pronunciation. :-)
This is such a fascinating capture! Can't wait to visit the province of Newfoundland. :-)

@jamibann no wonder, then, I was loving it! Just shy a castle or two, I suppose? The joys of travel!

@gaylewood Hi there, m'friend! My "current photos are just me, trying to catch up from back a month ago! I've got s many current delightful photos with Joy @joysfocus visiting here (and I'm dying to share them), but "yesterday's photos" will be buried if i post the current pix...and I'll never really be caught up anyway! I chuckled at your education came from your Canadian family members! Think "Loon and moon"! I was educated as to how to properly pronounce "Newfoundland" while I was there! Keep enjoying your summer! We're having an amazingly good time!

Rustic is certainly a good description of this one. It looks like it's time is limited :)
