I took a picture through the scope and got a good shot of the folks on the other side loading up on the boat..all dressed in yellow rain coats! The falls were beautiful!<br />That's funny you mentioned forever being in tourists photos...I've got tons of photos with folks I don't know who wouldn't move or walked in to the picture! <br />Thank you for mentioning this post to me. We appreciate seeing it all again!Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13353061992644076774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333207684889687005.post-58422114345602590912011-02-01T07:44:03.106-05:002011-02-01T07:44:03.106-05:00What beautiful photos!

It's really a great idea...a very pretty photo tour. And the hats...isn't it fun to learn the regional names for the same things? I agree, toboggan is heard here, but that's also a sled, so we might get a questioning look.

Now I know why! You were waving to me and Annie:)<br />I spent every summer as a child taking a trip to Niagara Falls! My grandparents always went and took me along! My parents also spent their honeymoon there and are taking a trip to Niagara Falls in the spring to celebrate their *big* anniversray!!<br />Hmmm. I wonder. We were ever there at the same time! Little Andrea and Little Misha~getting in the way of each other's family pics!<br />Never heard of a Toque! We have always called them *ski* hats. Then we moved here to Tn and everyone calls them toboggans! What?? I only know a toboggan as something I sit on to slide down the hill in snowy, frosty weather! You learn something new every day. Eh!<br />I cannot wait until your next Rural Roam! Your beautiful pics are worth the wait, my friend :)<br />LYLAS!<br />xo, misha~from my front porch in the mountains~https://www.blogger.com/profile/18103990196491433325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333207684889687005.post-14870378657356101732011-01-27T14:10:10.878-05:002011-01-27T14:10:10.878-05:00I thoroughly enjoyed this Rural Roam, Andrea!!

I've never been to the falls and I was born and raised in Manitoba...of course Ontario is a HUGE province so it's not exactly a 'hop skip and a jump' from my old house to there. Love your photo's and your description of Pond Duty LOL! My hubby (American) called his toque a 'knitted hat' but after a few years he switched...he calls it his 'Jacques Le Blu toque' now. Hope you have a warmer day today. <br />Maura :)Maura @ Kisiwa Creek Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992187526413563417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333207684889687005.post-55344727680724577322011-01-27T08:01:03.494-05:002011-01-27T08:01:03.494-05:00I love your blog!

It's a great way to enjoy a day and discover new and exciting places. I am totally into weekend roadtrips. Niagara Falls is such a great destinatation but yes, it can become a tad bit crowded during the warmer months. There is much to see in the surrounding areas as well so it's a great idea to go during the 'off' season. Your photos have really captured its beauty in the winter!Lisa ~Suburban Retreat~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10119349730386156556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5333207684889687005.post-91893785357436315072011-01-27T04:18:29.027-05:002011-01-27T04:18:29.027-05:00I've never been.
