I love Bear River, this little tidal village just inland from Digby, Nova Scotia. The last time I wrote about it was in April 2009 and everything was closed as the season hadn’t begun.
Last week-end Jeff and I headed to Digby Pines Resort for our 40th Wedding Anniversary!
We decided to stop at Bear River to have our picnic beside the river. There is a lovely garden, complete with picnic tables and benches.
and a wonderful perfume filled the air.
I’m not sure what this lovely white flower is – a member of the geranium?
Or these?
I think this must be the remains of an old wharf at the riverside.
Bear River has some great little shops and galleries.
The Flight of Fancy is a fantastic shop with art, pottery, glass, jewellery, rug-hooking, carvings …….
Myrtle and Rosie’s.
This Bargain Book Shop seems to sell a lot more than just books!
We saw the sign for the Sunday afternoon market and headed back to the river.
There I met Flora Doehler – a Facebook Friend, artist and writer of a Blog about her life in Bear River.
These young folk filled the air with lively Irish music.
It was a hot day and we continued our travels to Digby Pines for a swim in their outdoor pool. (another Blog to follow)
