Our good friend P., known to his kids sometimes as S., had a birthday yesterday, a big one. P. turned 50, and we were very glad to be a part of celebrating him on his big day, for he is a very special good guy.
His choice to celebrate the day was to walk on the Barrens. This is the great hike from Duncan's Cove to Ketch Harbour out along the granite headlands next to and high above the Atlantic.
It was a blowy day, and we agreed that the sky colour was bright grey. The sea, as follows naturally, was also grey, though less bright, but highlighted with the bright whiteness of foam around the rocks, spray where the swells were breaking over shoal water, and the driven whitecaps.
In the rock cleft the water was crashing and booming.
It was a colourful group that stopped for a snack.
P. had a celebratory drink.
There was talk of dwarves and wood elves when we made our quiet way through the magic forest.
Two of us tried hard to levitate.
It was great to come around the point and see Sambro Island light in the distance.
And later, after food and gifts and songs, there was a fabulous cheesecake to finish us all off. Happy day, P., and thanks so much for sharing it with us!
