Conservation Trail - Grand Island

 All of our hike today was on Grand Island. It was pretty, but not a lot of variety. The Niagara River was on our left.

On the other side of the trail across the road there were houses.

We got glimpses of the Niagara Falls skyline

We were being watched by a turkey vulture, but I guess we weren't ripe enough yet.


The humidity was 87%! A bit higher than I like. It felt like it was going to rain any minute, but the sky suggested clearing.

This Rose of Sharon had gone wild. Still pretty.
