Little Falls

The weather this past Sunday was quite unsettled ... was it going to be rain or sun? The skies couldn't decide, so rather than head for the beach and possibly get rained out, I decided to visit St. Mary's, a small, historic and delightful town about 1/2 hour away. St. Mary's is known for being home to the Canadian Baseball Hall of Fame, boasts of Timothy Eaton's first retail store, and is the burial place of Arthur Meighen, Canada's 9th Prime Minister. In the park that marks it's founding, there is an interesting set of falls fed by the Thames River, and lent the town it's nickname, "Little Falls". Although perhaps not large by Niagara standards, it still moves along at an imposing speed with plenty of froth and spray, and of course, water fowl.
