The Bonavista Biennale is taking place til Sept 14th at sites all around the Peninsula.
Artist Haruna Sugisaki from Japan invited local people to help paint these murals using pigments derived from the land - like plants, rocks, dirt.

Hidden treasures are all over the Bonavista Peninsula - like Brook Point, just off the King's Cove Lighthouse Trail.
It's part of our UNESCO Geopark.

There's still time to explore - and it's a great time for hiking. Call soon and book your stay.

Puffins are the cutest little seabirds!
You see them near the Bonavista Lighthouse, and sometimes up close in Elliston. They usually stay til mid August - then off to sea til the spring.

Thanks #LegendaryCoasts for the photo (taken by photographer #JackieZheng).

#VisitNewfoundland #Newfoundland #Mittens

A basket of homemade mittens and hats - thrummed mittens on the left and trigger mitts on the right. A sign in front of the basket explains: Thrummed Mittens (or fleece-stuffed mittens) originate in Newfoundland and Labrador. Twisted bits of unspun, carded fleece wool are knitted in to the fabric to create a fleecy lining. With wear and use, the fleece inside felts into an insulating layer. Traditionally, they are knit of wool in natural colors, however the pattern created by the thrum looks particularly striking with hand dyed fleece.
