Niagara

I headed to Buffalo, New York for a family dinner this past March. Great food and family for a weekend is the best vacation. During the time spent, I took a short trip to the American side of Niagara Falls. The power of the water was truly awesome.

Oktober

It's been pretty uneventful around the Cincinnati area. These pictures were from a local pumpkin patch I went to the with my girlfriend this past October. The farm was a good 45 minutes East of Cincinnati. It was a nice break from the drone of the city to head out to the country and pick out a nice big pumpkin. It was complete with a hay ride, petting zoo, corn maze and of course pumpkins. After exploring the corn maze and petting zoo we took a hay ride to the pumpkin patch to select the "perfect pumpkin". After paying, we headed back home.

Dismal end for the Reds.

The Cincinnati Reds season was, heart breaking to say the least. They went 97 wins and 65 loses, became the Central Division Champions, and started the World Series playoffs this 2012 season. They then completely swept  the San Fran Giants for the first two games and then they managed to fall apart and blow it the last three. I'll just return to a fair weather Reds general Cincinnati sports fan. The "Votto" painting was part of an art showing all around Mount Adams, near downtown Cincinnati. It was painted by a friends brother, Greg Matsey. Any contact information and more of his paintings and drawings can be found at his website Greg Matsey Design or his Facebook page.
