Has anyone tried the new zipline in Niagara Falls?

Here is a small video I shot  ZIPLINE

This dragonfly is happy. Look at his smiling face!

Fawntastic to see!

Spotted a couple of fawns having a drink while we were out kayaking in Charleston Lake last week.

#honeybee stops on the curb for a little rest - all that #pollen must be heavy.

An abundance of pine cones at the treetop. What could this mean?  Hot, dry summer?  Sounds good to me.

Long Island arch in Nova Scotia that recently disappeared - photographed during our 2012 visit to the Bay of Fundy

In July of 2012 we vacationed down east visiting New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI and I will add Cape Breton cause it just seems like it's own place.

On one night of our journey we camped at the Five Islands Ocean Resort and RV Campground. a decent place to camp right on the Bay of Fundy with the Five Islands lurking in the bay.

I must admit the tides in the Bay of Fundy are absolutely astounding.  It is simply amazing to see all that water disappear.  Soon afterwards the clam diggers appear on the now uncovered sea bed and go about their business.

Five Islands Lighthouse - arch just visible to the left of the lighthouse

  

Sadly as of this Monday night(Oct.17,2015) the arch is no more.

What?

Thankfully there is a "Dead End" sign at the end of the road.
Wouldn't want to end up on a cruise ship...

Monster from another planet?

Wanted to share this with you...
Took a photo of a #jumpingspider this morning on the side of my garage.  Simply reversed the colour and the effect was out of this world!  The surface is pebbledash and although it looks like it would be rough terrain, this fury little guy was pretty nimble at moving around.

Found this in the garden

Found this #JapaneseBeetle in the #garden this morning.  It may be pretty to look at but it's just plain destructive.  

Volcano erupts in Niagara Falls

On #CliftonHill in #NiagaraFalls there is a mini-putt golf course, Dinosaur Adventure Golf, that is full of life size dinosaur replicas and a small volcano that spews forth a big ball of fire every few minutes.  When it does flame up, you can actually feel the heat it generates.  Even from the distance this photograph was taken, we could still feel the hot air from the fire rush by us.  It only lasts a second or two so you have to be patient if you want to take a picture of it 'erupting'.

Paddling across the sun

Down in #PortWeller hoping to get some good pictures as the sun set into #LakeOntario.  A paddler on a paddle board crossed my line of sight and improved my photo immensely.
