  The Lobster Cove Head trail in Gros Morne National Park is a moderate to easy trail following a 1 km loop. The Parks Canada website describes it as: "A sign by the parking lot illustrates the paths down to the shoreline and along coastal cliffs. The rocky beach with its tidal pools is excellent for exploring at low tide. The lightkeeper's house is open to visitors from June to the end of September and contains an exhibit about the history of the area."
     As we wandered from the parking lot down to the shore we passed through a mass of "Tuckamore", which is low growth evergreens only a few feet tall, all inter-twined together for protection from the elements. And it looks like "caves" such as this would make fine homes for animals.
     Here we are down on the tidal flats - it was just fool's luck that we got there are the right tide - looking back at the point with the lighthouse on it.
     Susan was there ....
     And so was Glen, wandering about in the rocks.
     There certainly were plenty of rocks to wander around in ....
     And over, for hours!
     If only we had gone to the GEO in St John's before we came to Gros Morne and then maybe we would  have known what this green-tinged rock was.
     Susan had a lot of fun with her camera (and a polaroid filter) trying to shoot the fish.
     But the still life (or at least slow-moving life) was easier.
