Good Friday in Niagara Falls
Here's a few photos of me from today. Started out with a quick trip to the US, and by quick trip, I am really being ironic! There was the longest lineup I've ever seen to cross into the states. It was approximately a 1.5 hour wait to cross over. Somehow, I wasn't able to find border wait times (CBSA's site was N/A), which is kind of too bad! However, the trip was a success, and I was able to get what I was looking for :)
After a nice dinner with the family, we headed down to Clifton Hill and rode the SkyWheel. This was my first time on a Ferris-wheel. It was fun. Here are a few photos from today (including a dinosaur from what looks like to be a new mini-putt course)...

Spring growth
As I was walking to my front door, I noticed this in the front yard and had to take a photo. I've been living in this apartment for over 2 years, and each year I notice these tulips popping up. Last year they were cut as soon as the lawn cutting company came in and cut the grass. On an interesting note, yesterday I went for a walk around Dow's Lake and the tulips were just starting to come out of the ground compared (all I could see was some green stuff) to these which are already blooming (at least kind of blooming, they are proud and happy to be out!) These are the first flowers I've seen in the neighborhood. It's nice that they are in my front yard! :)

Dow's Lake is running low
Today I went out for a walk in the neighborhood and decided to walk around Dow's Lake. Surprisingly, the lake kind of felt empty. In the Spring time, the NCC/City drains the canal, try to lower the water, and this affects the water at Dow's Lake. We would think that with the Spring thaw, that the water levels would be up, however in this case the water is quite low. Dow's Lake is not a normal lake as it is a man made lake. Once upon a time it used to be a swamp, and now it's a pleasure space that is used at different times of year, skating in the winter, paddle boat in the summer, has tulips on one side during the tulip festival, etc. As you can see from my photo, the water is quite low...
