This video of Willband Creek Park is taken from one of the viewing platforms in this urban wetland. There are two trails, one is 1.6 km and the other is 2.33 km. While I was there, I saw cyclists, mothers with strollers, joggers, people and their dogs, and several couples hand in hand. There are many nesting boxes throughout the park. Waterfowl were plentiful in the two large water detention ponds. There are many benches along the trails and portable toilets beside the parking lot on Bateman Road. It is a lovely place to go for a walk. I've been here several times before. 

Note: I accidently deleted the video from Facebook so I've had to reload it here.

Bergy bits float around the wharf in the tiny community of Bauline, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada. There appears to be a large amount of sea ice floating down from the Arctic this year.  Conception Bay has been filled with pack ice for days. In fact, multiple dolphins were trapped in sea ice near the community of Dildo today and requiring efforts by locals to save them.  Our weather patterns are certainly changing! 

Redwood Park in Surrey BC is home to a grove of mature Sierra Redwoods, the tallest tree species in the world. The park includes over 5 km of nature trails. There are many other exotic trees growing here, collected from all over the world by Peter and David Brown in the earlier 1900s. There is a large playground for the little ones and 4 picnic shelters. 

Sushi Island is a restaurant in downtown St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. Newfoundland is known for its fresh Atlantic seafood and sushi is always a good idea! The first time I visited Sushi Island I was fascinated to order my food via I-Pad at the table and to have the meal delivered by a robotic kitty.  The Spider roll shown in the video was delicious and I didn't leave a bite! Additionally, to top things off, the robotic kitty  delivered me a bowl of complimentary mango ice cream!

Fresh running water from this brook collides with the water of the salty North Atlantic Ocean at Northern Bay Sands, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  In summer this brook is a popular fresh water swimming area for those who do not wish to swim in the sea.  The amount of water flowing in the brook rises in Spring as the ice and snow melt making way for a new season.  
Can you imagine yourself living in this home on the brook listening to the sounds of peaceful running water ? I sure could !!

Sea Ice fills Conception Bay in Topsail, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  Spring has arrived on "Iceberg Alley" and iceberg season is just around the corner on the Avalon Peninsula! Bergy bits and growlers, or "ice clampers" as my nan would call them, fill the shores of Topsail Beach. It is very mesmerizing to listen to the sounds of the sea and the ice moving and floating around with the ocean swell.

Don't forget to dress really warm when viewing sea ice or icebergs in Newfoundland and Labrador. Even if it says 3 degrees on land it will be much colder by the sea, especially if the wind is blowing off the water. Additionally, never climb on sea ice or icebergs as it is very dangerous and poses a high risk of drowning. View safely on land and do not underestimate the power of the North Atlantic.

I awoken a few days ago to the ocean filled with pack sea ice in Torbay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada.  Iceberg season has magically appeared overnight - early this year!  In a complete change of weather yesterda, it was a beautiful sunny day on the island  leading to a lot of ice meltdown and runoff.  I just love the sound as this freshwater stream flows into the salty sea! Nature is the best therapy ! I love my island home!
