The first photo was taken 5 years ago. I’m sure you remember the winter of 2015; we thought the snow would never end. Isaac says: “Oh that we only had a few feet of snow to worry about!”

The top photo was taken 5 years ago.  I’m sure you remember the winter of 2015; we thought the snow would never end. Isaac says: “Oh that we only had a few feet of snow to worry about!”

This next photo was taken last week on Isaac’s lawn. A nice tribute to the frontline workers who are the heroes during these trying times!

Is there anything that says Prince Edward Island and summer more than a beach, lobster traps and an Island sunset? Mary Donnelly snapped this photo at Doyle’s Beach in Savage Harbour, P.E.I. on Sept. 12. I can almost picture myself sitting on that bench, listening to the waves and watching that glorious sun set beneath the horizon of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

Can you say gorgeous? Ronald O’Toole sent this ‘Sunrise at the Castle’ photo he took on Sept. 17 at Logy Bay, N.L. The sun’s rays look like the petals of a flower as it rises out of the Atlantic Ocean. Logy Bay is located near Torbay and is about 10 minutes from downtown St. John’s.

Photos are fabulous, but there's something special about an original work of art. This lovely island scene was created by Malliga Nagarajan, of Charlottetown. It's an oil pastel crayon drawing with a reflective late summer vibe. Thank you for sharing your remarkable talent, Malliga.

When hurricane Larry made landfall on the west side of the Avalon on Sept. 11, many things were blown around. Once the storm cleared, Don Simms found this lovely butterfly resting on a sedum in his yard in Mount Pearl, N.L. I wasn't sure what kind of butterfly it was, so I looked it up. Here's what I found. This beauty is a Vanessa Atalanta or red admiral: a medium-sized butterfly with black wings, reddish bands, and white spots.
