Ryan in our campsite on the Arkansas river in Coaldale, Colorado. As you can see, we’re about to make some coffee using my Aeropress.

Panorama of Niagara Falls (click to view large)

While I was at Niagara Falls, I snapped the pictures that make up the 39 megapixel panorama seen above. I encourage clicking on it and viewing the full-size image; I think its kind of cool.

I’ve put up a gallery of other cool pictures from Niagara Falls here.

★ Quest 2011 Leadership

Yesterday, I went out to the ALERT campus and took pictures of the 2011 Quest Leadership team. I had a hand in getting Quest started, then led it through five seasons. This year, the sixth Quest will take place without me. I miss it, to be honest, and I think I will feel that strongly throughout this summer. Quest was a huge part of my life for five years. But it is in good hands. Samuel Winkler, the new Quest Coordinator, is a man I respect highly and have complete confidence in. He asked me to come out and do pictures for them, and I was more than glad to help out.

You can view the pictures in the Quest Leadership photo gallery I assembled.

★ Planning

I’ve discovered a basic axiom: Cheesecake and coffee are always a good idea. Spent a quiet moment the other night mulling over maps for my upcoming trip while enjoying cheesecake (from the grocery bakery) and a cup of amazing Costa Rican coffee.

★ Rocky Soil

Two thoughts come to mind with this picture: Firstly, Jesus’ parable about the seed in the rocky soil without roots. But, a more cheerful thought is of perseverance in spite of unfavorable conditions. I like the latter thought better.

★ Creation Teaches

Creation teaches about its Creator, and I am ever so grateful for the five years I’ve spent in this place and the lessons learned.

★ Peaceful.

Friday, we visited Broken Bow, Oklahoma. I’ve been taking the Quest guys up here for four years now, and each year we’ve used WW Canoes to set up our trip. Behind the trading post, they run a small farm. The rain this year left it remarkably gorgeous.

★ Perspective

When I look through the camera, I can see things differently. I gain a different perspective.

[doesn't this sound like a perfect setup for an analogy?]

Help me out: Finish this analogy:

★ Dinner.

Dinner tonight. The steak, while winning on presentation, wasn’t actually all that great—the marinade was spot on, but the cut of meat (Round) wasn’t the best (although the bacon wrap did help alleviate the leanness some). The real winner of the evening was the potato and fennel fondant. Well worth the 1.5 hours to cook, the potato was rich and fluffy inside, crispy and flavorful outside. The fennel was straight up amazing.
