After Sharon and I left the butterfly conservatory, we headed over to Niagara Falls for the afternoon.   It was another very hot day but the mist of the falls helped cool us down.   I looked for the spot that Nik Wallenda walked across the falls  on a tightrope but there was no marking that I could see showing us where he crossed.   We also went up the the Skylon Tower Observation deck.  This allowed us to see Niagara Falls from 775 feet up.  I have also included a few pictures from our visit to Edwards Gardens in Toronto that I took just before Sharon left Toronto.

I took so many shots of the falls that it was difficult to decide which ones to include so I probably included too many.  After a while they do tend to look a bit alike!

We eventually made our way to the tower to take photos.  I hadn't been up there before and it was well worth it for the view.

The clouds co-operated nicely.  Taking photos from 775 feet up allowed me to get the two falls in the picture.

Eventually we walked beside the falls again and took some more photos as we headed towards the Canadian Falls.

We were lucky to see a beautiful rainbow.

We didn't take the Maid of the Mist boat ride this time but it sure would have been a great way to cool off.

I included a black and white shot of the falls for some contrast.

After leaving the Falls, we drove over to Niagara on the Lake.  The building that you see is the historic  Prince of Wales Hotel.  

I liked the look of the flower garden surrounding the statute.

We stopped off at the water to take a walk and take some photos.  

There was a nice walkway along the water.

The day Sharon left we went to Edwards Gardens.  I think it was a little late in the season but we did find some pretty flowers.
