Front entrance Digby Pines Resort, Digby Back view which faces the bay As a treat  to ourselves following a very busy work year of teaching we decided to spend a few days at the Digby Pines Resort in Digby Nova Scotia. We chose this resort because we had driven by it a number of times in the past and always wanted to stay here and we are glad that we had the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful grounds and pleasant accommodation of this wonderful jewel of a hotel.

The top photo was taken with an Olympus E-30 and the bottom with an E-330. No need for other details, they are just car shots!
