Above the Falls.

These are the Canadian Falls. The boat is the tour boat called "Maid of the Mist." Notice the tourists in yellow slickers just to the right of the falls.

These gardens are on the Canadian side of the Falls.

These are the American Falls. This photo was short-listed for inclusion in the seventh edition of the Schmap Niagara Falls Guide, and later included in that guide, published late April 2009: www.schmap.com/niagarafalls/activities_marine/p=182031/i=... .

These are the Canadian Falls viewed from the American side.

On our way to Edmonton several weeks ago, we made a bit of side trip to Dunster, British Columbia to see the Mountain Lady's Slippers blooming there. After photographing the orchids we went on to a turnout by the river and were delighted to find a group of swallowtails resting or feeding in a muddy area along the river bank. There were about eight of them and they were all crowded in the same area, their wings overlapping. Someone suggested that they were feeding on some mineral in the soil, which is possible, since they allowed us to get very close. Only when my wife's shadow fell on them did they fly away. This shot was taken after they had flown when one of them relanded on the surrounding vegetation. I believe that this is the Canadian Tiger Swallowtail, Papilio canadensis, due to its geographic location, but perhaps someone knows better than I. Other pictures of it and of our trip can be seen at: ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2010/07/british-col... .

Taken from the top of Winchester Mountain, the farthest Peak is Canadian Border Peak and the nearer is American Border Peak, both of them standing to the northwest of Mount Larrabee. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/10/hiking-in-t... ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2012/10/hiking-in-t...
