The lighthouse on the pier in Grimsby stands as a call to safe harbour when Lake Ontario gets wild. The green light shines out across the water at night. The Grimsby marina sits just beyond and my vantage point was the Bicentennial Garden which was the spot of the Battle of the Forty during the war of 1812. Just a little bit of Grimsby and NIagara history. Frozen birds sitting in the pier, in my story. #niagarahistory #grimsby #canada #niagara #lighthouse #lakeontario #history #snow #frozen #sundayvibes #weekendinniagara #inniagara #stories #travel #travelstories #onthepier
What an exquisite experience today in this lovely restaurant @roseinthekitchenburlington Talk about a Turkish delight. The food, the ambiance, the service were all top notch. I spoke to Rose, the chef and owner, and Rose told me about her belief in fresh, never frozen, wholesome food. It definitely comes through in the flavours. Check my story if you want to see what’s inside these lovely little dishes, but first take a guess. And Happy Valentine’s Day to all my IG friends. Hope you had a lovely day filled with ❤️! #happyvalentinesday #burlington #turkishfood #restaurant #roseinthekitchen #love #turkishdelight #beautifulday #burlon #burlingtonontario #yummyfood #loveandroses #rose #restaurants #burlingtonrestaurant #burlingtonfinds #tablesetting #alittledifferent #somethingnew

Don’t miss the OPG Winter Festival of Lights in #niagarafalls A spectacular display of Lights and lighted art installations, many of them interactive, all along the Niagara River Parkway, in Queen Victoria park and at Dufferin Islands. On until Jan 12th. You can park at Dufferin Islands and walk around. Don’t let the word Island scare you. You don’t need a boat. You can also park across from the Falls at the Tablerock and walk along the parkway to the park. Don’t forget your camera or your sense of fun! There is a display called Play that will make you feel like a kid again. #wfol #winterfestivaloflights #niagara #inniagara #dufferinislands #niagaraatnight #niagararegion #niagarafallsontario #niagarafallscanada #winterwonderland #ontariopowergeneration #niagaraparkway #thefalls #artdisplay #lightdisplay #lightfestival #newyear #light #lights #lightart
This sign outside @smalltalkwines says everything I feel about 2019. It may not have shown here on IG, but I could have done without some of the things that went down this past year. I say, some, because I had some good times too. Such is life. Hoping 2020 is the best year ever for you and I! 🧡 What are you wishing for? #niagara #newyear #newyearseve #2020 #happynewyear #happynewyear2020 #niagarawineries #niagarawine #niagarawinecountry #niagararegion #niagarapeninsula #goodriddance2019 #goodriddance #best #bestyear #bestyearever #happy2020
Rows and rows of #vineyards in #niagararegion just waiting for spring. That’s the #niagaraescarpment in the background. Check the link in my bio for more shots of the NIagara Escarpment, an incredible geologic wonder. #niagarawineries #niagarawine #niagarawinecountry #niagarapeninsula #niagarabeauty #vineyard #vineyardvines #vineyardviews #inniagara #niagaratravel #travelniagara #travel #travelphotography #niagaraontario #canada #quietdays #nature #naturephotography #iheartnature #waitingforspring
Looking for a great way to get rid of your natural Christmas tree? Well, the good folks at @foxdenyoga in #niagara will accept your tree as a yummy treat for their goats. I didn’t know it either, but apparently these trees are a sweet treat for the goats and offer them good nutrition. Then come back to Benchview Farms and @smalltalkwines in Niagara-on-the-Lake for some goat yoga, with a yummy cider from Small Talk. Amazing fun! Would you ever try Goat Yoga? 📷 from @foxdenyoga #niagara #inniagara #goatyoga #yoga #goatyoga🐐 #christmastrees #winery #smalltalkvineyards #smalltalk #wine #cider #niagarawinery #wineriesinniagara #yogalover #winelover #smalltalk #foxdenyoga #foxdengoatyoga #notl #niagaraonthelake #niagararegion
#niagaravineyards beautiful in every season. This picture captured near @twosisters_vineyards in #notl when the snow came. I am always in awe of the beauty in #niagararegion . #niagarawineries #niagarawine #niagarawinecountry #niagarapeninsula #niagarabeauty #vineyard #vineyardvines #vineyardviews #inniagara #niagaratravel #travel #travelphotography #niagaraontario #canada #quietdays #nature #iheartnature #snow
The opening quote from the book To Build a Vineyard, written by @back10cellars owner, Christina Brooks. I have never before read a book in one day. Today I did! It is a compelling, uplifting story of entrepreneurship, community, love and life. So beautifully written and extremely poignant. What an incredible story. #books #bookstagram #niagara #niagarawineries #vineyard #tobuildavineyard #niagarawine #wine #readabook #bookstoread #stories #lifestories #entrepreneurship #business #winebusiness #reading
