My adventures....

I recently had the opportunity to take a trip to Toronto again, here are some of the things I did on my days off.....

Niagara Falls has fireworks every Friday, Sunday and holidays during the warm season. This time, the fireworks are real (not photoshopped)





If you can take your eyes off of the amazing water anomaly, you'd see a bustling little town.


These next 5 are at the same place, Casa Loma. It's an incredible castle with secret passages, a rich history and creepy underground tunnels.








This is the view from one of the windows...


I told the boys about a haunted old house, which might not be too far from the truth. I was driving around the country side and decided to take a road which had a sign next to it saying "Warning: road unrefined" and it looked like no one ever used it so I took a chance and drove in a little way. It was like a tunnel, lots of trees all shading the road. A little clearing through the trees revealed a dilapidated old house (completely empty). I had to walk through grass that was almost as tall as I was to get pictures. Here is the front door...


I visited Palmyra and the Sacred Grove, this photo is literally a miracle for me. It had been raining a lot during the first couple of days of my trip and my only chance to go would be Sunday. I checked the weather report and it was raining when I decided to leave. It would take 3-4 hours to get there so I hoped and prayed that there would be a little sun when I got there. Although there were clouds, the sun peaked out for about 45 minutes while I was in the Sacred Grove. I was able to get some amazing pictures. As I was driving off, the clouds rolled in again and it rained again.



And this creepy black dragonfly was amongst a dozen friends when I walked around the corner, but they all flew off. This one might be mentally retarded because it let me get within inches to take as many macro shots as I wanted.
