Fort Erie TripWell, Jen and I visited her grandparents in Fort Erie last weekend, and I got a few photos of our time there. Fort Erie, for those who don’t know, is right near Niagara Falls in Ontario’s wine country. Although we didn’t visit any wineries (unlike my previous trip to Mondavi’s in California) we did hit a few interesting touristy areas. On the saturday we were driven to Niagara on the Lake. Site of Andrew’s family and the Shaw Festival. We wandered around and saw the kitschy little shops that always seem to be in these cute towns. The next day we took some time for ourselves and went back to some of the places we’d driven by with the grandfolks. I took some photos of this really cool abandoned stone building covered with ivy.
More photos of the building and other places under the cut
After seeing my little stone house, we drove down toward Niagara Falls and checked out the butterfly conservatory. Similar to the butterfly exhibits at Carleton’s greenhouses or Alia’s museum (although much larger than either) there were many many very attractive butterflies. Of course, my itchy shutter finger went wild, but I’ve whittled it down to a few:
After the butterflies we went down to the falls themselves:
All in all, a good day of photo taking. I have to say that it was nice to have a reason to be in that part of the country. A trip there specifically to “see the falls” or “do the shops” might have been too much for me. But as a whirlwind outing while visiting family… that is just the ticket.
