Adam's Beanstalk

A daily adventure-bag of insights and old bones from an unknown poet in Manitoba's south. Caveat: Not everything is to be taken literally. Things are often shaded with poetic crayons; be the owl. Also, not all these bones are collected from different fields. Find themes that run througout each post and the journal as a whole; the most insignificant event may be part of an ear.

Trip Day 3

Rather than feed you with another crappy poem, I shall give you the glory of Day three in living photographs! And then I may talk a bit like cousin Ethel when she shows her slides in church. Enjoy!

Here is our Great Van Group (pretend it's a name). Back left is Jesse, then Joseph, in the front Karen then Gabriella. Swell times, team!

Somewhere in Saskatchewan...

"The family" in front of the lodge sign early Monday morning. Melissa had some problems scaling the wall.

The family in a classic sepia picture of Lake Louise. The postcard blue water was covered by a layer of ice and snow, except in the thin ice zones which made us a little nervous when walking onto the lake.

Myself with arms outstretched through the doorway of the ice castle on Lake Louise. We also viewed the fantastic ice sculptures and toured the ritzy hotel.

The stylin' George Roy (aka. dad) in front of the hoodoos that overlook the city of Canmore, AB. Though they are a worthy tourist attraction, the path leading down to them was steeper than some of the ski runs at Sunshine!

Hey Adam! I love the pics, almost as much as I love the captions. My all-time favorite is the "Somewhere in Saskatchewan" captioned one. I think it could quite honestly be the funniest picture taken on the trip (for the people that were there and actually saw the moment get captured on film, anyone else who sees it won't see what's so funny about it). Anyway, good job with the blogging, it's a very enjoyable read.
