Located in the SW corner of #NovaScotia is North Hills Museum, near #AnnapolisRoyal

Built circa 1760, this charming salt box style farmhouse began its long life as a farm. it was purchased by Robert Patterson who renamed & repurposed it as the North Hills Museum. Filling the home with Georgian furniture, glassware & antiques, when he died in 1974 the home & its collections were left to the Province of Nova Scotia. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/north-hills-museum-karen-cook.html #YourOceanPlayground #VisitNovaScotia

Such colorful wall art decorates this wooden shed. Located on the wharf in the historic town of Annapolis Royal #NovaScotia, each buoy or float plays an important role in the safety of what is a dangerous occupation.

The colors and sizes of the buoys caught my eye as I wandered around the town. Such a casual display on the wall of the building for such important pieces of fishing gear. https://fineartamerica.com/featured/the-sea-wall-karen-cook.html #Fishing #AnnapolisRoyal #FishlingLife #YourOceanPlayground #VisitNovaScotia
