Island Romance

Hello Everyone,
     Today,I thought I would share some of my favorite shots that I took from around the Island-Prince Edward Island that is.I love the peacefulness of these shots.
Knox Dam
Rustico

Rustico

The lighthouse at Victoria-by-the Sea. I love the lupins too.
Fort Amhearst
The little fishing village of French River

Living on a small Island means lots of shots of the sea.
Spinnaker's Landing in Summerside.
Rural P.E.I.
Beautiful sunsets at the beach.
Now doesn't this make you want to come and visit our lovely little Island???
Now,for my news flash-my garden photos have been published in this lovely garden magazine that just came out now. I got my copies in the mail today!

So this is a little more Island Romance!
Sorry for the glare on the picture.
Happy Weekend to you all!

I am joining The Rose Garden of Malevik for Show Off Saturday.

Thank you for visiting,

Carolyn

    Oh my gosh, where to start?

    WELL first off, I squealed with delight about the publication of your amazing gardens (and photography of said gardens!) That is such a compliment, wow, congratulations!

    Secondly, your shots around PEI are amazing. The rowboats on still water is boggling it is so serene and perfect.

    Tea on the water there? Breathtaking.

    As for wanting to visit? My bags are packed, be there in a few days.

    LOVE this post, you are amazing.

    Carolyn: I love the shots of the Island. I hope that I will be able to visit there someday. The little skiff in the first picture is just waiting for Anne to crawl into, cover up and recite "The Lady of Challot". I don't know how to spell it. It is a beautiful place and I can't wait to pick up the magazine. I feel like I know a celebrity..Happy Friday..Judy

    Beautiful pictures Carolyn..... every few years I visit N.S. and I love to make a trip over to PEI....usually spend 2 days driving around the Island and always with a stop at the Cavendish Boardwalk for some of the most delicious ice cream ever made.
