Description

Finalist
Green Gables is located in Cavendish in the Prince Edward Island National Park. Our visit to the site, which inspired the setting for L.M. Montgomery to create her beloved tale of a red-haired orphan, Anne of Green Gables, was a highpoint of our brief stay on the island last summer.

Thank you all so very much for letting me know you really, really like this one :) And thanks especially to Dayna (and Val in a private email) for your continued enthusiasm and your encouragement to resubmit. Though I rarely resubmit a Finalist, I have done so on occasion when I thought the time (usually MT) or image or both was right and may well do so with this in a month or two. #9873834
