The third of our three visits to the Millman Road, a Heritage Road on Prince Edward Island happened this past Friday. The series of photos, taken May 22, May 29 and June 5, show how dramatically the setting changed in just two short weeks. This time of year sees incredible change on this island.
In those two weeks, trees went from a dormant-like stage,
to unfolding leaves,
and are now open for business.
On our first visit, my husband and I were in awe of the walls of grey.
The grey had begun to disappear a week later.
At the end of two weeks, walls of green had replaced the grey. Tree trunks looked black more than grey, shaded by the canopy.
It is interesting that the sun was shining on the last day as well, a great welcome to the leafy reality of summer.
Walking down that road now, one walks in a green glow through a tunnel in many places.
The birds are singing or calling to one another but are invisible among the leaves. It is busy under the green canopy.
Watching nature express herself the last few weeks has been good for the spirit in these trying times.

The unfolding stage is the best. Too bad it is so brief. The same with autumn. Sigh.
It draws one in to walk down the shady lane. I am wishing I could be there to join you on your walks. :-)
So lush and green!

What a great series. I must do this!!! Seasonal change is a miracle to me.
It is amazing to see the trees change so rapidly. The leafy green speaks of cool summer walks to enjoy, but I think each stage has a beauty of its own :)
wow, what difference 2 weeks made, but it is pretty at both stages!!
thanks for sharing these pictures. The changes come so quickly and each scene has a lot of beauty.
What a beautiful transformation. Awesome photos, Marie.
How I love seeing this beautiful transformation. And many, many thanks for bringing it to my screen.
Your photos are truly a breath of fresh air.
It's amazing seeing the transformation from dull to lush and bright.
As to your comment on my blog...yes do the book...you will be so happy to have the memories at your fingertips.
I think they are well worth the money.

A beautiful record of the changes, well done. Keep healthy, Diane
Those are simply and powerfully beautiful.
These are all shots that beckon to me. Isn't it amazing what a difference a few days makes at the right time of year?
I used to have a painting I loved, of two children walking hand in hand down a sun dappled lane, book straps over their shoulders. The artist said her teacher said she didn't get her shadows right. They were perfect to me.
Great sequence of shots!
Nice to see that you have recorded the development of spring by showing the change in trees.
wonderful...you captured dramatic changes from grey to green... great work....excellent shots.
Have a wonderful day
Isn't it amazing to see the transformation a few short weeks make! I'm sure this road is absolutely stunning year-round! It is wonderful to have a place to go where nature continues to do what it has always done, and the world here continues in sweet continuity. It makes for a peace deep in the heart. Many blessings to you!
The change can be dramatic from one visit to the next.
