Photographs in the Rain

Sometimes the Niagara Region is somewhat like Western Oregon: if you wait for the rain to stop to go outside to do

something, then you may be waiting a while.  Son #3 and I decided to go out in the misty rain last week and we got some amazing shots.  Most of our pictures were later in the day and we hiked down into the Niagara Glen.  It is a great walk and if you are visiting Niagara Falls be sure to take the hike down to the river.  It is a bit of work getting back up but it is free and is worth the effort.

A little up the road from there is the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens.  We wanted to take some shots but there was still a fine mist coming down but we thought that anyone could take pictures in the sunshine and we would “take the path less traveled” and we did get some very nice pictures as a result.  The photo I have posted is obviously not even of flowers but to show that there can be wonderful images almost anywhere in any climate.

Son #3 took the photo of the leaves.
