Cavendish Shore September 2015

Feeling a bit like Emily of New Moon

North Rustico

I found this photo in my PEI Archives from September 2015 pilgrimage to PEI.  With a little photo effect ambiance added, it is not hard to identify myself with Emily Of New Moon...Rosemary

   "Beguiling laughter and old songs of merry maids and men.  Good line--I suppose.  New Moon is full of ghosts."  Emily of New Moon, by LM Montgomery

Fox Point, PEI

Lighthouse PEI

I must say that I was quite surprised at how small the lighthouses were on PEI.  Compared to our lighthouses here in NC, they seemed rather like pygmies.  How functional they were is a puzzle, but must have been so.   The lighthouses, small as they were, still provided a romantic ambiance to the Island Scenes.  They were also very hard to locate as they were not well signed and sometimes sitting in the middle of a pasture.  I don't remember the name of this lighthouse.

My new Anne postcard and missing PEI Conference

Anne of Green Gables

So, I missed the LMM Conference in Charlottetown this year due to work end of the fiscal year responsibilities  By all accounts it was a good conference, the theme being LMM and Gender.  I'm so sad and sorry to have missed it.

So today, on my USA holiday of July 4th, I took myself and my Anne doll back to Abegweit in my mind.  I've taken my sunflower field photo (in Park Corner September last) and the photo that I took of the Anne bedroom at Green Gables and I printed them to wood panels. Then, I set up my photo shoot and made a postcard.

Now, I can sweetly remember that I was once (twice) there where LMM once said that she was able to find her soul there.

The Lake Of Shining Waters

I think I may have run into Matthew Cuthbert here, coming from the stable in overalls, and he smiled at me! Park Corner, PEI, September 2015.

Is Campbell home at Park Corner haunted?

Pam Campbell, owner of Campbell home at Park Corner (and double cousin to LM Montgomery), told me that a few visitors have asked her if she had seen the spirit that lives upstairs in Stella's bedroom.  She claims to have never seen the spirit, and neither did I make any detections.

Is Park Corner haunted?

Fun with photo effects...

Footpath behind Government House, Charlottetown PEI

After Maud attained her fame, she was "received" at Government House on her subsequent returns to the Island

Preserving the LM Montgomery Seashore

Going back to PEI in my mind and with a photo interpretation....

Well, I do long to go back.  The pull is strong.  The only thing that may be done at present is to go back to the photos and re-interpret the best that I can do.  Someday, I will return!!

Dalvay and other photos reworked

Dalvay, Prince Edward Island, Canada

It must be time for me to return to PEI because I seem to be spending a lot of time on reworking these old photographs.

 I wonder if Maud ever visited the Dalvay????



I keep coming back to this photo and reworking it.

It was so much fun to be here!

Surely a place of magic and enchantment

Beauty is easy on the eye on Prince Edward Island!  

Sunset on the Cavendish Shore

I've been remastering the digital photos from my summertime trip to PEI.  How I dream to go back!

Wanting to go back...

A photo of Maud's mother at Park Corner

Although I was so very glad to get "home" from my trip to Canada I am now experiencing the most intense desire to go back!!  I especially would like to see again the sleepy little town of Bedeque.  There is a sweet looking Bed & Breakfast there that seems to be calling my name.

It's strange that I did not feel bonded with Cavendish, and though I tried very hard, I did not even get a whiff of Maud there (except on the Cavendish Shore--but only slightly then.)

Food is a problem because I am vegetarian.  One really has to dine in Charlottetown when one is a vegetarian and visiting the Island.

What is calling me back there????
