I was out here for the Air Force Knowledge Management conference, actually I was quite excited to be there and to learn about how to improve the Air Force. Brought a lot of ideas back to my directorate and been working trying to implement at least some of it. They put me up in the very nice Westward Look Resort, which actually was very new to me, never been to a resort before. After the first day I went back to my room, opened the door, the lights were on, soft music playing, and a bathrobe sitting on the bed. I went "hello? Anyone here?" thinking that perhaps someone moved into my room :) What can I say, I'm not used to this treatment!

After the conference I took a day to go shooting at several sites. I had been here in Tucson before with my Canon S50 and didn't have time to play photographer, but this time was different! I wandered around the resort a bit, then the Tucson Botanical Gardens, then hit Sabino Canyon. The Canyon was a neat place to visit, although I took the slow way to the top of the tourist area, I walked it (only about 5 miles). Although add in the camera backpack, non-carbon fiber tripod, and water, and I was wishing at times that I took the bus :)Also, after this trip I threw a can of bug spray into my standard travel pack. I was under heavy attack from both bugs and the cactus, I swear they just jumped out at me and did a great job of piercing my jeans!Onto the pictures! (By the way, I took about 900 pictures, I'm just too lazy to process them all!)
