We were headed back to Port aux Basques, and the ferry, and took the drive
out along Humber Arm, to the Bay of Islands, and Bottle Cove...

It was a beautiful sunny day, but I wasn't feeling well. I'd reacted to the antibiotics, since the doctor had prescribed double the standard dosage. The pneumonia had actually gotten worse, and I wasn't sleeping because of the breathing noise and the coughing, so I was exhausted.
I'd had such high hopes for taking photos at Bottle Cove. There's a trail out to a point overlooking the coast and the ocean,. There's a monument out there to Captain Cook, who explored this area back in 1776. It's a gorgeous spot, and would have been an amazing setting for my Fantasy crew. But I was ill, and could barely walk, so it wasn't to be. Not on this trip. All I could manage was one shot of Leona and Coco...with the point in the far distance....

The dolls went back into the cupboard, and did not come out again. Even scenic shots were few
and far between, during the next few days, as we headed to the ferry, and then for home. It definitely wasn't the trip I'd hoped for. Maybe some day we will go again, and have a better time.
The recovery has been long and slow. The pneumonia symptoms are mostly gone now, and my knee is a lot better too. I still don't have a lot of energy, at least not for photography. But part of that problem is the unrelenting heat and humidity we've been experiencing all summer. We've never had such a summer! Ever! I've been making party dresses for my Kaye Wiggs dolls, but it's been way too hot to haul everything outside to have any kind of party, and I've been waiting for some kind of party pictures before putting the dresses up for sale. Let's hope the weather improves soon.
