Looks like you had a great trip to Niagara Falls and shot some fine photos.
Ooooh.
How wonderful. Thank you for taking us along.
Wow - amazing shots of the falls! And that donut... wow!
You really got some amazing shots of this beautiful place Andrea! I have been there , but so long ago I have forgotten the beauty here until you reminded me. Also that has to be the biggest donut ever!
wow, wow and wow. What a stunning view you had from your window. Loved it. Remember the falls but, I don´t remember the bridge. Not sure it was built when I was there. You was also lucky to have a great sky with itt. And good to hear the sound. :) Loved it all.
