A trip to Newfoundland just isn’t complete without a look at the famous Puffin. Small funny-looking birds with bright-coloured beaks like a parrot can be found in many windy seaside areas of Newfoundland. They are simply awesome to watch and cute of course. Puffins are also very interesting. They feed by diving into the water…
I honestly thought that I knew everything about the Canadian Rockies. Okay, maybe not everything, but after living in Calgary for the last 10 years, I’ve had my fair share of Rocky Mountain experiences.

Stunning. The only word I could think of as I glanced out over the Bay of Fundy near Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick.
