We don't have mountains in Ontario, and I don't take many pictures of flowers, so I have only posted two photos so far in PICTURES FOR ANDY. a group set up to encourage Andy Rodker in his recovery from Covid-19. Today I was excited to learn that Andy was working in the gym daily with the goal of getting back to rock-climbing in the mountains. And then I realized that while we don't have mountains here, we certainly have rock. So here, Andy, is a photo of the Niagara Gorge and best wishes for your return to the challenge of rock-climbing.

The Niagara Gorge is a 12-km stretch along the Niagara River that was carved out by Niagara Falls as they receded upstream at a rate of a kilometre every thousand years. This was taken on the Ontario side at Devil's Hole Rapids just north of the whirlpool with the American side in the background.. Both sides of the gorge (Ontario and New York) have well-tended parkways and many places to stop to enjoy the view.
