Prince Edward Island




Sandwiched between two bodies of water, the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Northumberland Strait, sits a crescent-shaped island....PEI.


It is an island steeped in history with a good mix of Scottish, Irish, Acadian and Mi'kmaq heritage.


My maternal grandparents  ( MacIsaac's and MacDonald's) were born and raised on PEI. As a result I have been going there since I was a child and have always felt a close bond with the place. That side of the family has been there since the 1700's.






It's like 'going home' when we visit PEI. Two of my sisters and a brother share a place there and we were lucky to have been offered it again this year.


Here a few images that caught my eye.


At 'Singing sands' beach.


Ah-h-h-h!


Sophie's 'own' pool!


Abandoned.


Potatoes everywhere.


Heron.


Hot out there!


Fishing village.












Now that's being 'green'!


Enough said.....


One way to get off and on PEI......another is a bridge.


Hey, Ron matches.


Petulant poppies.


Very spritely, eh?


Hardy little guy.

Fossilized foot print?

Wha?


Wakey, wakey.


All aboard!


Until next time.......
