Niagara on the Lake

is a beautiful town in Canada. It is about 45 minutes from Buffalo,

NY and about half an hour from Niagara Falls.

All round in this area are apple, pear and peach orchards.
There are also a lot of vineyards.

Niagara on the Lake is any flower lover's dream !!!

Everywhere you turn there are more flowers.

It is a little bit hard to take pictures when it's raining. It's not very
easy to be holding an umbrella and taking pictures with my camera which most of the time requires two hands. Come to think of it though, I was able to manage an ice cream cone and my camera at the same time.

Not to mention stopping to take a picture and then looking up to find

that your family has already moved on.

Lunch time. Yeah!

In some cites you do even want to touch the benches,
but not in this one.

I am SOOOO glad that God made flowers!!!

Getting progressively weirder.
( And this was before the ice cream:)

Despite the weather it was a gorgeous day.

Part of what was fun for us about visiting Niagara on the Lake is,

that Mom and Dad went there for their Honeymoon.

We think that this is the hotel where they stayed.

And they went to this theater more than 3o years ago.

Me and my younger, shorter brother.
(At least he is shorter for now, but not for long:)

Mom liked this statue.
He ( George Bernard Shaw) was an Irish playwright.

Dad and Matthew with George.

A pretty lamppost if I ever saw one.

Niagara on the Lake is a beautiful place to go!!!
(Especially if you like flowers! :)
