8r4d A little stroll through the wilds of our favourite #mountain town.

8r4d We tried a second #hike this morning stopping by nearby Johnston Canyon, but there was so much ice and traffic on the path that we gave up after only about one klick.

8r4d Last time we came out to the mountains we met a real bear in the woods. This time we settled for something a little less dangerous but still quite bear-able.

8r4d Oh sure, it was a short but mighty #hike on a chilly November morning, but the view was worth it.

8r4d A scenic #hike to an impressive little #waterfall just off the highway connecting Banff and Lake Louise

bradsalomons I have been making extensive headway on The Underfoot this past couple of weeks and I’m comfortable with thinking about my next steps with the novel. In that mood I’ve been contemplating taking another serious stab at an #audiodrama version, produced with some music and sound effects. I found myself down in the #rivervalley this morning then recording some #foley and wandering through the woods trying to find the quietest place in the city… which was not easy. In fact I hiked from the dog park over across the bridge to the wilderness on the way to fort edmonton park, and hid in the bushes with my recording equipment. All of that was in service of capturing some autumn sounds of the woods and birds and leaves as background fill. Who says the life of a part time writer is dull, huh?

bradsalomons Despite the shartyness of the week so far, I have been making significant progress on my #writing and specifically the #editing of the novel.
