Back tonight from a week long trip to Canada, a few days in Hamilton for the workshops,and then off and about to look at several other places. This includes some “vacation” time in Niagara Falls.
“Niagara Falls . . . slowly I turned, step-by-step”. Do you recognize this quote?
More later, on the trip and impressions of the big water, and what I hope to take away from those observations to use somewhere down the line on a waterfeature that will be designed for a homeowner.
I won't mind if you share this:

The Whispering Crane Institute was originally formed to act as the umbrella organization for the Philosophy of Design Symposium, and other seminars and workshops given by Rick Anderson and Richard L. Dube’. In the year 2000 WCI became a sole proprietorship owned by Rick Anderson.
Today the WCI provides design and consultation services for Landscape Contractors, acts as a Green Industry think tank, and provides training for others in the form of workshops, seminars, and individual consulting. The WCI also provides written material, opinions, case-studies and how-to articles for industry trade magazines.

3 Stooges. If memory serves me correctly, Hamilton has an absolutely stunning botanical garden — I saw most of it once, when I lived in Buffalo. I also think the African lion Safari is not far from there, and I enjoyed taking my elderly mother there one summer afternoon! Niagara Falls is pretty amazing, in every sense of the word, isn’t it? Stunning natural beauty, amazingly maintained grounds and gardens and nearby sights — but upper Niagara Falls, the “tourist strip” is amazing in a completely different way. My last job before seminary was in Niagara Falls, US, at a family service agency there. It was the best job I ever had, and driving in from Buffalo each day, even midwinter, I could see the mist in the distance, beyond the Robert Moses Parkway. What a sight.
