There is quite a bit of work going on where the Falls Tower used to be on Clifton Hill. They broke up all of the cement that was supporting the tower and disposed of it. They also had a deep trench for a while but that has since filled up. They now have beams that will support the ceiling/roof. The picture makes the space look quite small, but it is surprisingly large, and a small store or concessions outlet would fit fine.

Yesterday I posted a couple of links to articles about the event at the Butterfly Conservatory called Bug-a-licious Insect Food Festival. WGRZ, a Buffalo TV station, sent one of their reports and there is a video you can see of him at the press day. You can check it out on the WGRZ web site.
Last weekend there was a small ice storm. I guess it wasn’t that small since there was a fair amount of damage from the storm. Everything was covered with a thin layer of ice. In some cases there was enough ice to cause branches to break, or even entire trees to fall. Yesterday when I was out walking I took some pictures…

This is a tree that fell along Queen Victoria Park

Nice shot if ice on an evergreen tree

The ice looked great glistening in the sun
