A couple of weeks ago my wife and I went on vacation for a week from Canada’s Niagara Falls area, through New England and ending up in Maine. We had a wonderful time, and over the course of the week we took a lot of gorgeous pictures. Today I thought I’d share a few of those pictures before sharing some of the week’s best personal finance reading.

Love the pictures of the falls. The wife and I went out there 4 years ago, lots of nightlife… we thought it was kind of like a little Canadian Las Vegas!

We said the exact same thing, It’s like a mini Vegas! Neon lights and casinos everywhere!
Great pics! Thanks for the mention.
Home sweet home!
I lived 20 min from Niagara Falls from ages 10-19. I used to hate going to the Falls. I would sit in the car because anytime people came to visit we ALWAYS had to go to the falls. Looking at your pictures reminded me that it actually is a nice looking place.
Thanks for including me in the roundup.
Wow! Those are some great pics! Love the last lighthouse one. Thanks for the link!

GORGEOUS SHOTS! What kind of camera do you use? Those are calendar quality and then some!
I use a Canon Eos Rebel T1i. I love the camera, it’s been amazing so far!
Great pics! And I agree–must be a great camera too.
