back to niagara falls. this time we only have a small window of time to explore, and it being a really nice day, warm sunshine, cool breeze, clear skies -- the perfect summer day! we had a beautiful lunch of fish and chips at my favourite restaurant with a view of both the american and canadian falls. i crossed the street and took this photo.
the prompt for the make 30 days challenge is "older than me". i can guarantee you that although i will be 70 next year, the falls is definitely older than me, although not by much. 🤣
on the bus this morning, there was a woman who brought her young son, about 8 or 10 maybe, who sat behind me and my sister. after about 30 minutes, i heard the woman making a fuss and heard that her son was throwing up. the son was seated right behind me. she was asking the passengers if they can spare a plastic bag. no one volunteered. this was one time when i didn't bring a spare plastic bag with me and i felt useless and felt sorry for the woman. then i remembered that the snack of four tortilla wraps i made for my sister and me were kept in the sealed plastic bag of the tortillas. it was a good sized bag so i immediately took the wraps out and gave it to the woman behind us. it was a good thing that i wrapped the tortillas individually in wax paper so that they still stayed clean and fresh in my camera bag.
the boy when he stood up with his mother to go to the bus' lavatory, wrapped his arm around the headrest of my seat and i saw that the arm and the hand were dripping with vomit. since there were two vacant seats on the opposite side of ours, i told my sister that we should move there as the vomit was starting to stink, plus i wouldn't be able to rest my head. so when the bus got to its final pick up some other dudettes sat on the seat we vacated. the funny thing was, the coordinator of the tour would hold a raffle of some handmade jewelry for the passengers. i told my sister, you watch, that seat (the one i vacated) would win a prize now that we moved away from it. and indeed, the lady who later sat there won a nice bead necklace and bracelet set. just is my luck. but i just laughed it off because i'd hold on to convenience rather than bead jewelry that i won't be using anyway. i have too many props already, n'est-ce pas?
What is absolutely remarkable Composition. I love the tree in the foreground, the boat in the water, and the bird flying across the scene! Hard to believe you aren’t almost 70.
So this makes for a lovely view point and not a head, hand or camera from anyone else in sight. You have a long long way to go to catch up with the falls in age!
