Prince Edward Island Collage - Reworking the 2010 Photos

I finally visited Maud's Island in July of 2010.  At that time, I only had a Canon Powershot pocket camera, and I knew nothing at all about taking photographs.  Unfortunately, I put my photo size on the smallest setting, which is the very worst thing that I could have done.

Since 2010, I've taken many photography classes and I also own 2 expensive Canon SLR camera's with some very good lenses.  For me, there is no point to spending money to travel without good photography equipment.

So, I'm ready to go back again when the time is right.

Until then, I continue to work with what I came back with in 2010.

Green Gables, Porch of the Dalvay, Lover's Lane, Mirror in Park Corner, Leard's Lane, Confederation Bridge

Remembering LM Montgomery




I borrowed this from a PEI Blogger. It is called Heritage Prayer, and I agree with it 100 per cent.

Heritage Prayer

We keep forgetting all of those who lived before us.
We keep forgetting those who lived and worked in our communities.
We keep forgetting those who prayed and sang hymns in our churches before we were born.
We keep forgetting what our fathers have done for us.
We commit the sin, Lord, of assuming that everything begins with us.

We drink from wells we did not find.
We eat food from farmland we did not develop.
We enjoy freedoms which we have not earned.
We worship in churches which we did not build.
We live in communities we did not establish.
This day, make us grateful for our heritage.
Amen

adapted from a prayer in the old Covenanters' Church - 1804, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia.

Found this photo in my picnic basket

This is an old photo that I took when "The Gift of Wings" was first published (Mary Rubio)
