Hello everyone,
I have had a few people ask me about Prince Edward Island lately so I went through some of my old summer pictures. Many of you have seen Anne of Green Gables or Road to Avonlea and wonder if the Island really looks like it does in the movie and so I will share some of my favorite spots in summer.
The little fishing village of Rustico.
I love this home in Knox's Dam. The first photo with the boat is just behind this home.
French River- another fishing village.
Rustico
Grand River in the western part of the Island.
French River again.
Northport-the western end of the Island.
Summerside
Rustico
There are lots of lovely farm homes on the Island
Fort Amherst lighthouse
There are also lots of pretty churches around the Island
another Fort Amherst lighthouse
Lots of beautiful B&B's around the Island also.
Anne of Green Gables house and the church and school are part of Avonlea village -a tourist attraction and I had to show you that we still have some red clay roads on the Island where you can imagine meeting up with the little red haired Anne driving along the road with Matthew in a horse and buggy!
If you would like to see inside Green Gables and surrounding area click here.

The lighthouse at Victoria by the sea.
Of course we have miles and miles of lovely beaches.
Victoria- a quaint little village has some lovely old homes and nice shops etc.
My thoughts and prayers go out to all the people of Japan as it is hard to imagine the fear and devastation they are going through.
Thank you for visiting me,
Carolyn.

Beautiful Carolyn! Are you getting some famous visitors this summer? I thought I heard that Prince William and Kate will be there. Your island is just delightful. Wonderful for a virtual visit too! Thanks.

Hi Sherry,
You are right-Prince William and Kate are coming in early July.
Glad you enjoyed the tour.
Carolyn
Carolyn,
Your photos are absolutely stunning! I have been to all those places and you have captured them all so well...gorgeous!
Yes, my heart is also heavy...so unbelievable...prayers are going to those in Japan right now.
Thanks for mentioning it on your blog.
Hugs and blessings!

I really need to get back to the island for another visit. I really missed some great spots like Victoria-by-the-sea and the streets of Summerside when we were there in '08, and of course, your beautiful gardens! Thanks for the tour!
So beautiful...Thank you for the tour...I would love to see it in person.
Blessings Kelsie

My daughter and I have loved Anne for years. We dream of going on a trip there some day, now I feel I have. Thanks for sharing your beauiful countryside. xo Caroline
I loved the tour of my dear friend Anne with an e's island.
What a wonderful place to live. I want to move..my mom was born in Canada and wish we had lived there.
Anne has been one of my favorite books and thanks for showing the picture of L.M.M. It is a beautiful picture..

Thanks for the tour~ As I sewed curtains last weekend during a snowy, icy day, I put in the Anne of Green Gables DVD's and thought of you.
On the DVD, the birds were singing, the orchards were blooming, and the creek was just a bubblin'! It was a beautiful day, indeed.
Your photos of your island show your love for your home, just gorgeous!
xoxo

Thank you so much for sharing these lovely photos from Prince Edward Island. I have been looking at the houses and the landscape. It is indeed a idyllic place, just like the films from Avonlea. :)
I also looked at the link from Green Gables. Lovely too! Thank you! :)
I like your blog a lot, and have looked back at your previous posts as well.
I am glad you like it at my blog too.:) Have a nice Sunday! It is early morning in Norway.
What a wonderful place on earth! Thank you for showing the photos!

Hi Carolyn
You live in a wonderful place... it must feel like a never ending holiday.
And yes, my heart and my thoughts are also in Japan. It's so hard for the people and the animals living there.
Kind regards
Alex

I want to come thereeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Dear Carolyn, today you make me dream. This Island is absolutely fantastic and Anna has always been one of my favourite characters since when I was a little girl..I didn't know that the village of Avonlea really exists! I wish I could visit your wonderful country one day..
Thank you again

What beautiful images Carolyn! A gorgeous place!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan.
Carolyn, even though I live on PEI now (I'm a come from away) I loved looking at your beautiful photos. You've really managed to capture this island at it's very best.
I love your island !!! Your photos are just great. Thank you for sharing !
Have a nice Sunday! Ag from Greece
Your photos are lovely. I would love to see your island first hand - maybe someday!! Canada is on my dream trip list.
Thank you for sharing that part of the country with us. I can't wait to see it with my own eyes! Your photos are beautiful :)
Oh Carolyn the photo are lovely and bring back many great memories of our vacation there three years ago. We loved every inch of the Island and hope to return next year for sure. Our plans have us heading to the Victoria on the West coast this April but we prefer your East coast hands down. The beauty of the land and charm of the Islanders is second to none! Oh and the seafood!! You are very lucky indeed.
My heart is breaking for the people of Japan..
Take care!
Wanda

Hello Carolyn
I have to agree that your province is very pretty with many historical sites of interest.
The thing that remains fresh in my mind from our visit is how friendly the people were.
Judith
Dear Carolyn,
I had to catch up with your posts again. It's really busy in our house and at work at the moment. In the evening there is hardly time left for blogging, but luckily it's only temporary!
Your Island looks really pretty. You know I hope to visit one day. I also enjoyed seeing photo's of your beautiful spring table!
Happy new week!
Lieve groet, Madelief x

(and at home I have two very, very old copies of "Anne van het groene huis"so it calls in Dutch. I have read them so many times they are like goods friends and helped my in difficult times by make my smile!) I love your blog because you give a little bit of your world to my. Thank so much!

Thank you for the tour Carolyn. You live on a very beautiful island. Stunning photos. Have a wonderful week.
What a beautiful place! Thanks for the tour.
Carolyn
Thank you so much for posting these beautiful photos of the enchanting island where you live.
Your blog and your home are beautiful, too. Coming here is like taking a mini vacation!
Victoria in California
You live in a most beautiful place, Carolyn. I can also see Anne of Green Gables skipping down the road. How I loved those movies and books! Thanks for the splendid tour. Susan
Thank you so much for the visit !
How kind of you to share the photos of this beautiful island.
You make my day !
Thank you for the tour. It was a lovely way to begin my day. Isn't it amazing how many of us are touched by Anne of Green Gables? And probably how many of us dream of coming to your island for that reason? So glad I can at least visit virtually (thank you).
Carolyn, Thank you so much for sharing these photos. In 2004 our family was thrilled to visit Martha's Vineyard. I hope to visit Prince Edward Island sometime too. It is on my "dream list".
Beautiful....and thru your lens very beautiful! So wish that my elder sis and I could visit....maybe someday. Thank you for sharing.
Your photos show off our Island so well, Carolyn! I am longing for warm sunny days again! I enjoyed your turquoise breakfast table too. Such a pretty colour and it just says Spring so well. We have the same egg cups! Lovely that you have your mother's spoon holder! My thoughts and prayers are with the people of Japan also. Have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
It's been one of my dreams to visit PEI. It just looks SO beautiful! I keep saying that we live so close, here, in southern Vermont, and everyone looks at me like I'm crazy! Well, relative to Los Angeles....
I hope I get there, someday. In the meantime, I enjoy your tours!
