Early start, headed into Buffalo.  Parked in city park and went to Albright-Knox Art Gallery.  Afterwards saw female pheasant and 11 young in park.  Met a former circus acrobat who was having trouble with a gang of boys on a long bike ramp over the road.  He said they wait up at the top and then block the path and rob people, in between shouting up at them to leave.  Crossed the Peace Bridge into Canada, back when you didn't need a passport,  and drove up Niagara River Parkway and ended up parking about a mile from the falls. The closer you get the more expensive to park.  Mine was free and I ran the mile to see the falls.  Aftre returning I went to nearby beach and went swimming.   Next stop was Whirl Pool State Park back in New York,  got a photo and later did a painting from it.  On to Lewiston and Old Fort Niagara on Lake Ontario-my second Great Lake.  Stopped for the night by Wilson fishing pier, did a couple of sketches.  full day.  89.6 miles  photo available through http://artwanted.com/artist.cfm?ArtID=42727
