i dare say
I’ve seen some wild stuff in my travels. Sometimes I seek them out, other times they’re a complete surprise. They’re always found in a museum. For anyone who still thinks a museum is a dusty place full of boring old history, you couldn’t be more wrong. On vacations in Canada and the US, I’ve found some of the coolest and kookiest things in museums: a horse-drawn hearse, rock from the moon, robotic dinosaurs, the DeLorean from Back to the Future. It’s especially exciting when I find a random connection to home. In St. Thomas, Virgin Islands, I found a portrait of Sir Walter Raleigh (he and his halfbrother, Sir Humphrey Gilbert, made exploratory trips to Newfoundland for Queen Elizabeth I in the 16th century); in New York, I found an exhibit on the extinct Labrador duck. Here in Newfoundland and Labrador, I’ve toured a museum filled with chainsaws and another with snowmobiles, listened to an opera singer from the 1800s, descended into a mine tunnel and seen a giant squid up close. Most of these community museums are a product of love, respect and pride, built and run by volunteers. They are not about profit, they are about reward – the reward of honouring their past, of keeping legacies alive and of giving visitors a deeper understanding of their hometown and what makes it special. In this issue, we have two stories of two very different museums. One is brand new and devoted to the history of gloves, in a town that really, really knows gloves (see page 76). The other is in a building over 100 years old and is in a precarious position (see page 70). The manager says it best, when asked how people can support the museum, and I’ll leave off with her words. I hope you take them to heart. “What you can do as a local is visit us this summer! And you know, tell people, anybody you visit, your friends and family, tell them be sure to go to the museum.” Thanks for reading,

Karen Smith of Kingston, ON, sent us this great shot of Bill Duffenais snorkelling under the dock on Guanaja Island, Honduras.
In Honduras, July 20 is Lempira Day – an annual festival named after the warrior king of the Lenca, the Indigenous people of the northern highlands of Honduras and El Salvador. In the 1530s, Chief Lempira gathered an army of 30,000 and led the struggle against Spanish conquerors. Though the revolt was ultimately unsuccessful, Lempira is a recognized Honduran national hero, and the day is celebrated with parades and fireworks.

Belize Jan Varner of Ramea, NL, poses with a copy of Downhome at her winter home in Belize.
With hundreds of islands and a long Caribbean coastline, Belize has always had a strong fishing culture. July is an ideal month to visit for some sea, sand and snacks. The annual Lobster Festival, the country’s largest foodie celebration, heralds the opening of lobster season. Whether you like your lobster steamed and dripping with drawn butter, or want to try more exotic variations like spicy lobster soup, there are few better places to enjoy the world’s favourite crustacean.
Costa Rica Todd Lamswood of Toronto, ON, and friends take a riverboat tour in Costa Rica in this photo from the Downhome Cruise in 2018.
In Costa Rica, the Fiesta de La Virgen del Mar (The Festival of the Virgin of the Sea) falls on the Saturday closest to the 16th of July. In the town of Puntarenas, fishing boats decked in flags and flowers sail in procession to commemorate the storm of 1920 that caused widespread damage and loss of life, and to seek protection from the Virgin for another year at sea. Other celebrations include regattas, parades, music and dancing. www.downhomelife.com

Life is fleeting, light ever changing, and photographers understand more than most about the importance of “taking your shot.” Angel Burt gets it. Some of her favourite photos are ones that she knows exist only in that moment. “I have several pictures taken in places where wharves have since been torn down and my photos were the last ones taken. I have photos of massive icebergs just before breaking and gorgeous rainbows reaching across the sky right as the sun peeks after a rainstorm. Those pictures can never be retaken.” Born and raised in Oshawa, ON – “we didn’t grow up wealthy by any means, but our lives were rich with adventure and friendship” – Angel married Leon Burt of Virgin Arm, NL, in 1998. In 2016, they decided to make the move with their two young daughters to Leon’s hometown. Angel now works as a bus driver and custodian for New World Island Academy in nearby Summerford. Wherever she’s living, whatever stage of life she’s in, Angel is always drawn to photography and collecting images of life as it happens. “My first experience with photography was with a wind-up camera that belonged to my mother. I was a teenager and saved up my money so that I could afford to have my photos developed. I had to send them via mail and wait for what felt like forever for my pictures to arrive,” she recalls. “A few years later, as a young adult, I went on a camping trip with www.downhomelife.com
my best friend to Kakabeka Falls, near Thunder Bay, ON. I bought a disposable Kodak camera for the trip. This was my first experience photographing waterfalls and the place where I remember falling in love with photography as a whole.” Leon is a loving supporter of her photography hobby, Angel says. “Not long after our youngest daughter was born, my husband surprised me with my very first digital camera.” With that one, she documented their girls as they grew, so much so that she wore that camera out! Currently she shoots with a Canon T6 with an EFS 55-250mm lens. “As a hobby camera, it has served me well,” Angel says. “I love the versatility of this camera and have spent countless hours adjusting settings to find what works best in different environments. In the future, I hope to invest in a Canon EOS 90D, an upgrade from 18 to 32.5 megapixels.” It was Leon who arranged a weekend getaway for them to Elliston a few years ago, so Angel could get some photos of those adorable puffins that congregate there. It led to one of her most memorable photography outings – though it didn’t look very promising at the start. “When we arrived at the puffin viewing site, the fog had rolled in so heavily that we couldn’t see more than a few feet ahead of us. I was so July 2023

64_SureShots_Features 0609 5/26/23 2:28 PM Page 56
disappointed! My husband and I continued along the trail trying to make the best of it, but with the fog, there was no way to get a clear shot and I tucked my camera away,” she recalls. But knowing that Newfoundland weather can change without notice, Angel said a desperate prayer for the fog to lift. “About half an hour later, I looked up and could see the sun breaking through the clouds. All of a sudden the fog lifted and we could see 56
July 2023
hundreds of puffins across the embankment. It felt just like Christmas morning!” To the amusement of others around her, she says, Angel was very obviously in her glee and snapped more than 300 photos that day. To quote André Kertész, famous photo essayist of the 1900s, “The photographer’s art is a continuous discovery which requires patience and time.” And, sometimes, a break in the weather. 1-888-588-6353
