The Magic of Niagara

The thought of a waterfall will bring in Radiant rainbows, whooshing water, and a lot of  mist to the mind’s imagination.
Yes , with these thoughts I was holding the boarding pass in one hand and with my lil one on the other. I boarded the plane with my lil one and my parents destined towards New-York city.

From the altitude As I clicked  the clouds:

After an exhausting tour around New-York city, my journey towards Niagara continued but this time , I boarded a bus from New York to Niagara.

After about 8 hours of bus travel , here I was in Niagara.

First stop was at Niagara Fort. It was originally built by French but now serves as a museum.The restored fort provides a glimpse of  18th century battles that took place on the site, as well as period dances, fundraisers and other special events.

Walking through the Niagara State Park.

And Finally , breath taking beautiful NIAGARA

There are cave of the winds, Maid of the Mist, Trails ,I-MAX theater and few other activities at Niagara State park.

I-MAX -> One of the good places to hear the stories surrounding Niagara falls over the centuries.

One of the below videos taken while on the Maid of the Mist boat


                                         
                                         

With fear, mystery and Magic , Niagara will definitely cast her spell on everyone for the rest of our lives. Although the waterfall is shrinking by 12 inches each year, which means it will disappear in about 10000 years from now , 
, N-I-A-G-A-R-A is a miracle and MAGIC!!!

My first painting!!

I am so excited to try my hands at painting to paint one of my fav characters –

The Buddha.

It’s Full Moon and a bright lotus and from the dark, there is an image of the golden Buddha symbolizing light from ignorance.

Learning an art is an incredible experience as you become aware whenever u learn something new.

Will continue to post more paintings.

Day Out with Thomas

The nostalgia of toy train or travel by real train is always cherished.

 Perhaps a toy train was gift… Looking back, do you remember the spark of joy and enthusiasm accompanying it? For many, their first toy train triggered an enthusiastic hobby for collecting model trains and creating miniature railroads spanning towns/cities. …not only can this be an incredible hobby but it can be rewarding for the entire family.

Thomas & Friends, a small creative fiction  on the steam locomotive in The Railway Series book by the Reverend Wilbert Awdry and his son, Christopher has now grown to be a weekend destination.As it is one of the favorite TV series watched by my daughter, 
I decided to spend a day at North Carolina Transportation museum for the event
 "Day Out with Thomas".

Its not only fun loving but also educative, informative and creative.

Below are the pictures and videos that creates a longing to go back again.
