This weekend in photos

I've been on the road again.
(Not on the water- though there are many photos of water!) (above: Summerside)
Have seen a lot more of Eastern PEI.
(Must be fall!) (East Point)
PEI is a beautiful place!
(St Peters then 2 of Basin Head- singing sands)
Also- new school had its official groundbreaking today.

Photos of the Island

I've been enjoying getting out and about as I can, (as per previous blogs!) and have usually had my camera with me. (Sound familiar to anyone?)

Here are some fun wildlife shots:







Here you get some pretty sunsets:


Here you get some lighthouses:

Here you get some ships:









Here you get some Anne places:
Hope you like them! Please, comment, question me, ask for more, whatever!

Oh I've been everywhere!

I'm reminded of a song...And I know that it's probably not the original, but it's the only one I know!

I've been everywhere folks, that there is to go in Grey, folks... (finish me!!)

Just because I was touring around yesterday after getting off early from work. I hopped in my car and followed the blue herons. (Mostly because of the beautiful blue skies, that's what made me want to roam!)

I drove through Hamilton and near Toronto, Cavendish, New Glasgow, Kensington, Hunter River.... (Not necessarily in that order, mind you!)

I stopped in Cavendish to find that the tourist season is over, so I couldn't go into as many places as I wanted to. That's ok, because this way I kept going, touring around, finding some great little "adventures" and was able to walk the Cavendish Beach/Dunes. Very nice. Around sunset too- very, very pretty! Hopefully some of my photos look good on computer, as I haven't uploaded them from the camera yet!

We've had a bit of rain, but it didn't affect my touring. I should get going and check on my laundry. Hugs to all!

Smalltown Canada

Over the past little while I’ve spent a lot of time in my car. The drives have often been wet (it’s been a wet summer), but they often find me traveling through some beautiful small towns.

This weekend I’ve driven through a bunch of small towns. Some of them take your breath away, others have cute little shops that I wished I had the time to stop and poke around a bit.

Some of the small towns have cute names, others, just odd names. I’ve been noting some of them, and they include: Crapaud, Travellers Rest, St Louis du Ha! Ha!, Winsloe (sounds like a good name for a pet!), Oldham, Londonderry and Pleasant Valley. What other fun names of places have you been in or seen lately?

I love the small town feel you get out here in the Maritimes, though it’s not absolutely everywhere. I was reminded of a quality of small towns that I like today- an honour system for fresh fruits/veggies edit- note by honour system I mean that they had a box for you to put the correct cash in when you picked up however many items you wanted. Today potatoes- a while back strawberries. These were found in different towns, different seasons, but both gave a very fresh and enjoyable change from the everyday. How else might potatoes and strawberries be related???

This weekend I was also able to (in small town fashion) bump into some classmates from Ottawa- while in Halifax. And not just once!! We bumped into them at the market and then later at a part of the harbourfront I'd not yet visited. Good to see them!
