Sculpture Saturday – April 24, 2021

…thanks to Kelly over at No Fixed Plans for hosting Sculpture Saturday,https://nofixedplans5.wordpress.com/2021/04/24/sculpture-saturday-29/

These sculptures were in the yard of a private home next to the Grimsby Park by Grimsby Beach. The nautical theme was perfect considering that the property went right down to Lake Ontario.

Bright Colours in the Village of Grimsby Beach

Yesterday my husband and I did a short road trip to the Grimsby Beach Village. This area next to Lake Ontario was originally a Methodist Camp in the 1800s and people came from all over Ontario and New York to spend part of their summers here.

In the early 1900s the tents were replaced with cabins and a couple of hotels were built to accommodate the growing number of tourists.

Today the homes are all privately owned but the community has decided to continue painting and decorating their houses in bright colours.

Water, Water Everywhere – Grimsby Beach

Posted on April 23, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2021/04/19/reflections-1-water-water-everywhere-74/

Today we drove to Grimsby, ON to check out the village of Grimsby and Grimsby Beach. Grimsby is located on the shores of Lake Ontario and is south of Hamilton.

The first stop we made was Grimsby Beach Park. It’s a truly magical setting, with parkland, a rocky beach, pathways and brightly painted cottages (more about that in another post).
