| The thing of it was, there were wildflowers absolutely everywhere. It was completely unexpected (by us at least) and quite stunning. We took so many pictures, but I tried to be gentle and only show you the good ones. There is no particular order to these. And don't blame us if you think we got some of the names wrong - we bought a book in Gros Morne just to try to figure it all out! | ||
