Green mountains, ember tablelands rocks, white clouds and blue sky dominated our view during our Canada trip. Small colorful wild flowers, pink, white, yellow, blue, purple, bright yellow dotted the vast landscape here and there and they brought variation, change and freshness to the vista. The dark red flower is Sarracenia purpurea, i.e. turtle socks, or side-saddle flower, it is carnivorous. The remnants of withered pine trees, lifeless and grey, postured and they attracted attentions as well.

The skeleton of a whale, sea gulls - single or couple, sparrow, some sea birds, these were lives I saw. There must fishes in the water which I could not see.
Newfound lands claim to have highest density of mooses in the world; black bears are native to the area as well, and we saw none on the trails. The first day at Gros Morne, it was cloudy and then rainy, not a best day - as we drove up a hill on the way to our cabin in the afternoon, we saw a cow (female) moose by the roadside and staring at our car, it walked along the road a bit, and looked at us again and then start running ! On the day 4 at Gros Morne, in the afternoon, for this stretch of highway, there happened to have no other cars except ours, a black bear crossed highway leisurely in front our car, I slowed down and stopped the car and let it take its time.
Colorful wild flowers, birds, moose, bear and even dead pine trees brought surprise, unexpected excitement, or beauty, made a planned trip more like an exploration, and more fun.
