Rex & Bianca's Newfoundland Adventure - Part 4
Bottle Cove
One of our favourite drives in Newfoundland is the winding road out from Corner Brook along the south side of Humber Arm to Bottle Cove. Captain Cook explored this area back in the 1760's....
We came across a boat there, so Rex and Bianca could explore it as well....
Into the Woods
Rex and Bianca took the trail through the woods to the lookout...
But it was quite far, and Bianca needed a rest..
"How about over there?"
There was a log to sit down on...
the Lookout
After a hike through the woods, Rex and Bianca arrived at the lookout....
Lazy Afternoon
Bianca started laying out a picnic...
..while Rex was taking in the scenery...
"This is one gorgeous place!"
"...lunch is ready...."
After a wonderful lunch.....
...it was time to just relax....
On the Beach at Burgeo
Whenever we are in Newfoundland, we like to take the drive through the wilderness to the town of Burgeo. It's very remote, on the south coast. There's a provincial park there with a beautiful sand beach. And who should we spot riding there, but Rex and Bianca.....
An Apple for Buck
Bianca had brought along some apples as a treat for the horses....
"Here you go..."
Morgan noticed....
...and wanted one too....
"I saved this one for you..."
*The following series of photos are presented out of the order they were taken, in order to present the story of their engagement. We had taken the ferry back to Nova Scotia, and I'd been looking forward to visiting the Fortress of Louisbourg on Cape Breton Island. There were so many wonderful photo opportunities at the Fortress, and I've rearranged some of them interspaced with photos taken in Burgeo a few days earlier on Newfoundland.
Laundry Day
Bianca had spent the morning washing....
....and was headed out to hang everything up.
"Sorry guys, I already fed you..."
She headed out the gate....
"Looks like a good day for drying."
Hanging the Wash
Bianca had quite the load of laundry....
"I wish I didn't have to go so far out here to hang it up..."
"But it is a nice windy day....."
"...so it should dry pretty fast...."
Change of Plans
Meanwhile, Rex had Buck all saddled up, ready to go for a ride....
..when he noticed Bianca out hanging up the laundry...
"I'll be back later, boy.....there's something I have to do right now....."
"Now I just need some flowers.....fast....."
A Proposal
Bianca was busy hanging up the last of the sheets...
"Hi there..."
"What are you doing here? And please watch out for the sheets. I spent the whole morning washing them!""
"I wanted to give you these..."
"I picked them just for you...."
"...and I wanted to ask you something...."
"Would you marry me?"
"Oh, yes!!"
