My Favorite Photos

Prince Edward Island (PEI) is Canada’s well-tended and inviting back garden. The weeds and wilderness have been tamed to create a pastoral green patchwork of rolling potato fields, tidy gabled farmhouses and seaside villages.
The entire island is rimmed with miles of vivid red cliffs, sand dunes and fabulous beaches. If you have been following our trip thus far, you have been able to see some of the sights that we have been fortunate enough to experience. One area in particular (other than the harbours of course) sticks out as simply beautiful. This was at the east end of the island (East Cape) just before you turn towards the west. The shore drive was so beautiful... The potato farms were different here. The flowers on top the plants were yellow. No other place on the island did we see the plants like these. Simply breathtaking and awe inspiring. We later found out that the plants were "Rustic" potatoes, and as you can see in the photos (which do not do depict the actual beauty) were yellow and green as far as the eye can see... AWESOME!
