A few of my favorite things

And some not so...

I was in Moose Jaw for some Professional Development this weekend. Yes, really. Temple Gardens was all booked up, but I had to stay somewhere. The view might have been better...

Right, while we are on the topic of great views I wanted to share a few things.

First, my favorite flower. Not sure if you could have guessed this one or not.

The second thing requires a word of thanks to Chantelle. She and Vin provided ready to make postcards for Leora and Anwyn. Anwyn sent me this one. I won't tell you what great things she said about me on the other side. Even a Quester has to have a bit of privacy. I hope that you can guess the depicted scene without any help. If you can't, you just aren't trying hard enough, or you really don't know me.

Last, and probably least of these fine photos is this. My favorite pinball game. It has certainly consumed hundreds of my Earth dollars as I tried to assume mastery over its glossy and mesmerizing frame.

My mind raced constantly thinking of cool uses for this stuff. Eventually, when the Christmas hubbub was dying down, I settled on a project that I've wanted to attempt for a long time -- making a custom attachment for my Gorilla Pod . Before we go any further, if at any time you find yo

If you see Lake Louise, start walking in the other direction

These direction might be a little bit rough. You could probably get away with these type of vague instructions on the prairie without becoming seriously lost. Although death from boredom is a distinct possibility for some. At any rate, the title of this post gives you a pretty good idea how to begin my latest mountain expedition. As always, I was guided into the wilds by fellow Quester, Dave Aschim. We are starting to have a bit of a mountain legacy: 2009 ,  2010 , 2011 , 2014 , and now 2015 A map with a rough route drawn on it can be found here . One more note. I took a series of "geo panoramas" or " photospheres " as Google calls them. If you follow one of the links to Google Maps (I tried to imbed on the site, but failed), it isn't just a static image. On a laptop or desktop PC, you should be able to click the compass or click and drag the image to see an entire 360 degree view. The resolution isn't as good as my DSLR camera, but for now, it is stil
