This past summer (2026) I joined my sister & great niece on a trip to my mother's birthplace, Newfoundland. I've been there a number of times in my life - it's such a unique, special place - and I always have the added bonus of family to visit there.
For this trip, my prime motivation was to see puffins & gannets, as I had only seen them previously in the popular boat tours, from afar. This time, after a little research and booking well in advance, we were able to fulfill both of those goals, with a lot of welcome whale watching thrown in!
Puffins are so endearing, as well as fascinating. I hope to work on a number of paintings exploring this hardy little species.
