CANADA Adventures Part3
(BANFF HIKING, lake louise, mirror lake & lake agnes)
takes us on an amazing journey to Banff. We will follow along with her to the pristine waters of Lake Louise, Mirror Lake, and Lake Agnes as she makes her way up the mountain.
As always the photos she captures are stunningly beautiful. They include amazing shots of the lakes, the forest, the many views of the Rockies, and even a little chipmunk friend. To the right is a shot of the aptly named Mirror Lake. I always love photos that utilize reflections like this, and this lake made it easy to use the effect.
Nearing the top of the mountain she even got to enjoy a cup of hot chocolate made from the crystal waters of Lake Agnes before heading back down before dark.
Be sure to visit her blog page for more great adventures, and also stop by her new second page
where she posts single photos daily.

As one commenter on the post said, " I can get lost in your drawings" -
It is so true. You can just sit and stare at his art for hours. There are so many little details mixed in all around each piece. This piece is one of his favorite subjects, "the aquatic life". Not only is there the main fish, but there are what looks like hundreds of fish eggs all around. Each one filled with a unique little creature.
Be sure to not only check out his blog page, but also his Art Page where you can actually purchase prints of many of his works.

Behind the Scenes Tour at NASA's
Johnson Space Center Part 1: Mission Control
What little kid doesn't dream of being an astronaut or going into space at some point? Well,
Even though he has lived near the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas for quite some time, he never visited. He recently made it there with his family for a special "behind the scenes" tour led by his neighbor Chad who works there. He got to see, and shared photos of the International Space Station's Mission Control, the Orion Mission Control which was in the middle of a training session for the planned manned mission to Mars, and even the original Apollo 18 Mission Control center. Unfortunately the Apollo 18 one was under renovations so we dont get to see it in its full glory, but it is still very cool to see.
See all the photos from the tour here.

The story comes to us from 
I like games, stories, and games about stories. Playing games is how humans experiment, practice and learn; telling stories is how humans analyze, teach and remember. And they're both fun ways to waste our limited supply of evenings. Here's hoping the stuff I write will be mildly interesting, and the advice I give, moderately useful.
No spoilers here, go read the full story for yourself.
