Last week we took another day trip to take in some more waterfalls. We headed toward the Niagara region where the world’s most famous waterfalls reside, the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls wihich make up Niagara Falls.

The falls are fed by the Niagara River and the force of this powerful river and subsequent falls powers a huge section of Ontario and New York State.

Niagara Falls is not the tallest falls in North America but the width and volume of water that flows over the edge makes it the largest falls. Worldwide it is only the ninth largest falls but it is probably the most famous of all the falls and the city is considered the honeymoon capital of the world.

As I was walking through High Park last week I notice a couple of people intently looking up through the trees. I was looking a for short cut back to my car so I headed in their direction. When I got closer I looked up and I could see a beautiful Red Tail Hawk with his back to us. Here was a moment when I wished I had my telephoto lens with me but I had use my iPhone and hope for the best.

I wanted to get a shot from the front but when I stepped on a twig and snapped it the hawk flew away. He didn’t go far so we followed him to the next tree, a couple of times. I tried to walk without making too much noise but it is almost impossible this time of year with all the debris that lies on the hard ground.

I knew that If I waited longed enough I might be able to get a shot of him taking off for the next tree.

It pays to be patient.

Park benches are mostly empty these days but in the last week the weather has warmed up considerably so slowly people are starting to use the benches again.

Lost #7

…today I lost one of my favourite gloves on a walk through High Park

I didn’t want my glove to become a Lost object for someone else’s post so I retraced my steps. I figured I walked about 1 kilometre before I found it and I’m sure that one of the dogs in this off leash area had picked it up and moved it off the path. I was lucky that I spotted it. Then I had to turn around and try to catch up with my group. I was exhausted when I got home today.

In this last photo Lucy isn’t lost but she stood there for 10 minutes as if she was lost. When my son-in-law got home he got her to move. Getting old sucks, even for dogs.
