Norris Point is picture perfect. A beautiful community surrounded by the mountains and pristine waters of Bonne Bay.
I spent a lot of time on the beach growing up in Green Island Cove, hearing the waves gently touch the shoreline, picking mussels or throwing rocks. However, the beach was not sandy like the one here in Norris Point. There is something about sand, that makes me want to stop and play for a little while, whether it be writing my name, building a castle or getting my toes buried into the fine grains. On many of my vacations, I have a photo of “Christopher” and ‘whoever’ ‘place’ and ‘year’ drawn in the sand. There is something special about the water that will also have me coming back for more.
I made a few footprints in the sand on this beautiful March day in Norris Point back in 2011. These old photos remind me of the prayer, “Footprints in the Sand” which reinforces about in times of need, we should look back and see the footprints in the sand to realize that Jesus is, has and always will by our side.
Enjoy Sunday and Live Rural –

Thank you for this wonderful picture of the place of my birth and many wonderful childhood memories. It is an achingly beautiful place. The calming effect of the pictures and memories are better than any drink, any pill, could ever have.
