Niagara Falls Horseshoe Falls. Photograph taken and copyrighted 2002 by Barbara Mattio.

My father was born in London. So his favorite vacation was going to Ontario. Fish and Chips were what we all wanted. The first time I went to Madame Tuessard’s Wax Museum, in the basement were all the scary stuff. I was terrified. Returning as an adult confused me because I didn’t see scary stuff. Life is a matter of perspective. I love Niagara Falls and stopping there was on the agenda for my late husband’s and my honeymoon. He make me go on the Maid of the Mist. I never get publically wet except at the ocean. He was thrilled that I got publically wet. I was not thrilled but I enjoyed his delight in the experience.This picture was taken when I was in Buffalo for a retreat.
