Prince Edward Island - Part 3

 A visit to the Butterfly House with Ben, Nora and Mags. 

Mags [sister in law] joined me for my last week with the family. She was last here in 2014 for Kim and Stuart's wedding, so has enjoyed exploring the beautiful countryside and getting to know Ben and Nora.

The Butterfly House is found in the Gardens of Hope at New Glasgow. Open from June to September, this wonderful little greenhouse is home to a mesmerizing collection of tropical butterflies imported from Costa Rica.

It was a pure joy to watch these graceful, delicate, dazzling, fluttering, ethereal creatures and so very special to watch Ben and Nora interact with them. 

The previous day, Mags and I had visited Mooney Pond and I was thrilled with this capture of a Viceroy who actually remained still for a long time.

I am now home and suffering the worst jet lag ever. My body clock insists on keeping to PEI time which is the complete opposite of real time here. 

I'm hoping to get back to reading your wonderful blogs soon.

I would love to read your comment.

Prince Edward Island - Part 2

Tuesday 17 June 

Conferation Trail - Darlington Road to Hunter River return. - 12.5 km.

I set off after waving Ben off to school.

Views from where I parked at the the trail head.

The entrance point

On my way.

The lovely, leafy, canopied, winding trail.

And along the way.

Coffee time Hunter River.

I just had to stop on the corner of the 225 and 247 for these beauties on my way home.

From here, I rushed home and changed to attend Nora's graduation from daycare. September will see her commence school.

Such a special day in all ways.

Apologies, there is little time for reading your blogs or replying to your lovely comments. I am sure you understand.
