We visit some Heritage Roads every season. The old red dirt roads pass through the countryside and highlight various aspects of Prince Edward Island’s geography and history. While I love the changes from summer to autumn along these roads, the spring to summer changes are just as remarkable.
One of our favourite Heritage Roads, the Millman Road is in the centre of the island. My husband and I walked the road on May 22nd and took photos at various vantage points along the way. Then we returned on May 29th.
A scene which resembled a tunnel of grey walls with a red dirt floor on the 22nd,
was alive with the new green of late spring on the 29th.
Each repeated scene was the same. The grey
was replaced by the glorious green.
From the landmarks, you could tell it was the same area,
but the green changed the look completely.
Trees are busy opening leaves so they can do important work over the next four months. We will return later this week to the scenes and compare them to last week.
Summer is nigh.

Hello,
I love the red dirt road scenes. I have to say, the greenery and green trees and my favorite. It is nice to see all the seasons and view. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
I love this time of year when the greenery returns full blast!
The green seems to take forever to arrive, and then, boom, it's here.
The progression seems so sudden every year. It's lovely to see.
I so enjoy taking the same sort of photos!
Oh my gosh Marie, I love these shots that show how quickly the trees change from one season to the next. I do love the winter trees but the bright fresh new green growth is stunning. Looking forward to the next visit 💚
Delightful! The difference in just a short time is amazing. :-)
Wonderful photos of mother nature's magic. I would love to walk down that road, so pretty and peaceful looking.
I am always blown away by how fast - and how magical that change is.
What a brilliant idea to compare and contrast the scenes - thank you.
Great series of photos showing the changes, well done. Have a good day, Diane
Oh, wow, I sure enjoyed these...there is just something about photos looking down the road...specially through a wooded area.
What a great idea, to take pictures during the change of seasons. I love these shots.
The green is wonderful. I especially like the arch over the road.
You have beauty at all times of the year.
Beautiful pictures Marie, and I love how you show the changes of the season. The abundant green foliage is so beautiful, and I can remember the smell vividly. I see dandelions peeking out as well. It is a wonderful time of year!
I can see why you would love those roads and the changes.
It looks like a part of England with Australian roads!!

I always love a road with a canopy.
From my prospective I say how absolutely wonderful to experience such a rapid change. My husband however says, we are not driving down there, it is too muddy and narrow! So frustrating.
The grey trees are attractive but the green looks better. Amazing how quickly it can change.
It looks like a peaceful place to walk :)
Thanks for the beautiful photos. Now I just want to know where that lovely dirt road goes?
It is always interesting to compare the seasons.
Isn't Mother Nature wonderful. One minute it's grey and dull and then WOW, green and vibrant. One of the things I love about Australia is the red ground, green shrubs and bright blue sky.
What an amazing change in one short week.
Gorgeous and lush..
Thanks for sharing.
I would love to walk down that red road too.

What a spectacularl scene to photograph during all different stages and seasons. Really enjoyed it. Thanks
beautiful captures!! we do not have this red dirt in my area. such a profound difference in the images as the area begins to "green" up!!!
Great shots. We can almost smell the fresh air!!
The red dirt is classically PEI.
Lovely to see the contrast between the seasons.
