adventures in skiing

as the fog rolls in

things aren't quite right...
feeling a little foggy i guess...
unsure of the future? perhaps that's it...
i'll try to sleep on it...

really wish the heater in my room wasnt broken.

reflections on a beautiful october

i love autumn.

thanksgiving

its time to back track a bit.

this thanksgiving i went to my aunt's cottage on three mile lake. this first picture is of my parents on the dock at sunrise. i couldn't figure out how to make thier faces come out any better without losing the intensity of the sun... any suggestions?

before heading home from the cottage, we decided to detour to algonquin park. i had never been there before, so there was way too much to explore all in one day. we just went on a couple of trails, but it was totally worth it - everything was gorgeous - even the graffiti.

SOES at sunrise

at the beginning of september, i got a chance to go to the scarborough outdoor ed school near algonquin park. that was the farthest north i'd ever been! weird, eh? it was absolutely gorgeous - gorgeous enough to convince me to wake up at 6:30 in the morning without an alarm clock to enjoy a sunrise canoe ride. the lake was unbelievable at that time of morning, just coated in fog. it was awesome. special thanks to kristy for showing me an great time - i miss you hun

the interns

so, until december, this is my albion hills student crew. from left to right, we are graham, jason, me, and kelly. one of the staff here took this shot of us on the highest hill at albion (lookout point) while we were doing our training on hiking routes. things are going well so far... the food is even pretty decent, keep your eyes open for the soon to be hit comedy "three cooks and an intern"

an ode to jbd the 5th

oh, what a birthday - classy to say the least. i hope you had a good time brian!
