I've created an album on my photo gallery website with the photos I took during my trip to Jasper/Wells Grey/Mount Robson, have a look! I might add a few more photos later once I do another do-over through the memory card, but for now, I like those a lot =)

If you also keep putting off turning on the dishwasher because you'll "just use this one plate and then do it" only to forget and run out of plates: set its timer to start in 1-2h.
