Panoramic - looking up and down the road

     I haven't taken a panoramic view in years - here it is.  Starting looking west up route 151, then swinging around right, northward, right over to the east looking at route 151 going out towards Rte. 2.   These photos were taken late evening last Sunday.
     Google Streetview hasn't been in our road yet!
     Here's another panoramic taken on a rainy September day.

The grounds

     We've been busy getting things ready for rent starting the end of the month.  Here's some photos from around the yard - taken near dusk on Sunday evening past.

Reno's are complete - check out new photos

Lupins

     Lupin seeds were distributed to local Women's Institutes by Prince Edward Island Government in 1972-1973 to be spread in their communities to beauty The Island for our 100th anniversary.
     Here's a few photos from around Alma.

West Prince: Prince Edward Island, by Aggie Gaudet

     In 1993 Aggie Gaudet published a book of her photography of West Prince (western portion of Prince County), Prince Edward Island.  Aggie's photography became popular when her photograph of Elephant Rock at North Cape became popular and tourists started to flock to the area to see the unusual rock formation.  Sadly, the mighty ocean and stormy weather wore away the rocks and little remains of Elephant Rock today.
     Below is the book cover and a few inside pages displaying the life and times of western Prince Edward Island where life is mostly about rural, fishing and community.
Here's the back cover - ISBN 0-9696806-0-0
