Saturday Snapshot invites bloggers to share photos. While Andy and I visited my family in Newfoundland, we took a road trip to one of its small islands known as Twillingate.  It turned out to be perfect time to go. Last year, Twillingate had almost no icebergs at all. In contrast, this year, Twillingate had the most they had had in the past fifteen years. Naturally, my photos are all of icebergs.

As you can see, some of the icebergs were mammoth and others not so big. Some were close and others were scattered abroad. Last, some were intact and others have broken into smaller pieces. Technically, the latter are known as growlers.

Mostly, I took broad shots, but I also zoomed close to some so I could see their details. One of the locals told said that the white ones were newer and the tinged ones were older.

This is one of my favorite photos. The two larger icebergs make me think of protective parents, while the smaller one seems like a baby nestled between them.

I also liked these, partly because of their swan-like shapes and partly because they were close to shore. At French Bench, Andy and I got to touch real icebergs!

And eat them. 🙂

And sit on them. 🙂

My dad and my brother joined Andy and me on our outing. A good time was had by all! (I’m missing from the shot, because I’m the photographer.)
