Jun 14 Terra Nova and Trinity

 

Canada May flowers in June

Terra Nova National Park protects the boreal forest and coastal area on the Bonavista Sea. The forest is dominated by Black spruce and Balsam fir. There is a healthy number of larch or Tuckamore as they seem to be called here. Some folks call them jumiper too. They are a deciduous conifer, Most of the trees we saw were just beginning to grow needles. They are as soft as a feather.

Rhodora (Rhododendron canadense) was blooming during our visit here.

Later in the day, we visited Trinity, a coastal community with many colorful buildings and a hug church.

Engraved silver disk embedded in a Mahogany table describes the place where the tree was taken.
