As the Covid-19 crisis continues, we thought getting away for the day to see a familiar place would do us good. I grew up in the Niagara Region, with Niagara Falls being my families go to Sunday picnic getaway. So, it only made sense this is the place I wanted to visit. So away we go with face masks in place, plenty of hand sanitizer available, and social distancing constantly on our minds.
We wanted to get there when it was light enough to take some daytime pictures but also time to get nighttime pics. Couldn't leave the dogs at home to long, 6 hours is the max. Firstly, trying to find a parking spot. Don't get me wrong there's plenty of parking at the falls, if you want to take a bus. Ain't doing it in the middle of a pandemic. We got lucky.

The next picture is where I got soaking wet. Not something I planned on but worth the pic. The mist from the falls was nothing like I had ever seen...a torrential downpour. I was soaked in a matter of 5 minutes...at -1C purrrrrrrr. My camera also took a hit... it froze. |

All in all had a great day with our masks in place, we socially distanced, and washed our hands frequently courtesy of the Niagara Falls.
