We were told that we wouldn’t like Prince Edward Island,
Canada because it is so touristy but I wanted to see it anyway. I love
exploring and I’m not easily discouraged. In addition, author, Lucy Maud
Montgomery based her Anne of Green Gables books on Prince Edward Island so it
sounded like it would be beautifully scenic.
Unfortunately,
what first hits you as you cross over this really long bridge is a less than
attractive touristy area. We quickly
drove through and finally saw some beautiful fields of golden yellow flowers.
We never had enough time to really explore the island’s natural areas so there
may be other areas of great beauty. As we were leaving the island, I looked out
the window and saw this beautiful sky and land reflected in the water. I only
had time to put my camera up quickly and get a blurry photo of the scene. Not
surprisingly, I didn’t take a very good photo that day but it provided me with
just enough information that I could produce this painting. So maybe I’ll
choose to remember the island as made up of fields of golden flowers, beautiful
skies, and quiet waters.
Happy
Weekend!
