Autumn in the Isle d' Orleans

On October 23, 2018 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

I hope you are enjoying your week. We
drove up to Quebec, a week or so ago and
enjoyed all the beautiful fall colors on our
nine hour drive each way. I love seeing all
the farms on the drive through Quebec.

Although we spent quite a bit

of time touring Lower Town Quebec

we actually stayed on the Isle D'

Orleans this time in a cosy little

rustic cottage.

I enjoyed seeing the French Canadian

colorful homes .

The Isle D' Orleans is only a
short drive from Quebec City
and it takes a little over an hour
to drive around the whole island.

It is very charming and
a slower pace then the city.
Kind of like our own little
Island (PEI).

We have been to Quebec in winter

a couple of times recently but it

is 7 years since we went there in

autumn.

Above, A pretty fall display in front

of a cafe.

As always we enjoyed going for daily walks

in the fresh air and taking in all the beauty of

the colors of autumn.

There are a few of these tiny church like

buildings on the drive around the island.

The mustard yellow of this field
looked so pretty with the foliage
colors.

They have a lot of beautiful old
barns that have so much character.

A little village on the south side of the
island.
I have more photos to share of both
the Island and of course Old Quebec as well.

I just have one more garden tour here at
home and then it is major clean up time
in our garden before it turns cold and
winter sets in.

Thank you for coming along
with me today.

Take care,

Carolyn

An Autumn Tea

On October 03, 2018 By // No comments:

Hello everyone,

With the arrival of October , I am

finally getting in the mood for

some warm and cosy autumn .

I have a small collection of this

china that reminded me of Holland

but it is actually made in Japan.

It has a cosy fall look to it that

I love.

Pears are a healthy snack with

my tea today.

While driving down a street in town these

pretty doors caught my eye with all

the planters clustered on the porch.

I love those corbels and trim.

The fall asters are blooming in

our garden now. These grow to

over 3 ft. tall.

The sweet autumn clematis is one
of my favorite autumn blooming
plants. It gets cut back every year
to the bottom and springs back up
again to put on a great autumn show.
It is perfect for arbors.
Thank you for visiting,

A Walk in the Park

On November 01, 2017 By // No comments:

Welcome !

Last week on a beautiful warm sunny day
my husband and I took a couple of hours off
to enjoy a walk in a near by park at Fort Amherst.

These maple trees were probably
at their peek for autumn color.

As we cam out of the woodland

trail we had a good view of

the Charlottetown harbor with

a big cruise ship docked.

I always love this trail by
not one but two lighthouse.

A teepee was made in the park.

The Blockhouse Lighthouse can also
be seen from the park.

Love all these beautiful autumn colors.

It was the perfect day for a walk in the park!

Wow! can't believe October is already gone.

Thank you for coming along,

An Autumn Picnic

On October 30, 2017 By // No comments:

Good morning!

With all the beautiful sunny warm autumn
days we have had this year, there have been
lots of days still enjoyable for an outdoor
picnic.

Love this rusty old lantern.

I gathered up my old plaid picnic can and a wool

plaid throw and set about getting a picnic ready.

I hope you brought the food because alas my

picnic box is empty!

A woody site by the water is perfect
for an autumn picnic with the sound
of the waves on the shore below.

This was a quick impromptu photo shoot today

but next time I will plan ahead and pack

my picnic basket with goodies to enjoy.

We enjoyed a more relaxing weekend
and actually took time out to go canoeing
as soon the season will be past for another
year.
Don't worry he didn't go without me!

Thank you for visiting!

Passing Beauty

On October 29, 2017 By // No comments:

Welcome!

Every time we drive from our home to our
cottage we pass by some amazing beauty
so I thought I would share some of the
Autumn beauty.

I love this farm by the West River
so a few days ago as we were driving
past, it seemed like the perfect time
to stop and capture the beauty. I love
the Autumn colors and the reflection
in the water.

Prince Edward Island is beautiful in
all seasons!

Sunset on the West River is always
beautiful. I took this shot a couple
of evenings ago.

I have some pretty summer shots
of this beautiful spot but will have
to dig them out for another time.
I will be back soon with a 'walk in
the park'.
Thank you for visiting!
