Dresden Photos

City of Dresden including the Hausmannsturm and Hofkirche

What was supposed to be the final week of our journey was spent in Dresden, visiting Ingrid's relatives. The weather was not as nice as the rest of our trip, but we enjoyed seeing everyone and exploring both familiar and new places. We also had some great meals, and had better luck finding vegetarian food on this visit that in the past.

Jeff's Barcelona Botanical Garden Photos

Tiny cluster of flowers

I separated these Barcelona Botanical Garden photos from the rest because I took so many photos there.

One of many camellias at the New Botanic Garden in Marburg.

We spent a day visiting Marburg, near Frankfurt, which is a wonderful town with lots of neat old architecture and a fantastic botanic garden.

Colorful orchid.

The Frankfurt Palmengarten on our first visit in early April. It was the last day of their annual orchid show, so we took lots of photos. I can't identify most of them, but they're still enjoyable to look at.

Bugloss from the Canary Islands (Echium callithrysum)

These are photos from our sixth day of visiting Barcelona when we went to the Montjuïc area, and explored the many gardens there. We spent most of our time at the Barcelona Botanic Garden, which was huge and full of amazing plants, especially the Australia and Canary Island sections, which we explored throughly.

All my Europe 2010 photos

All the photos I took on the trip

I took 2090 images on my DSLR on my recent trip to Europe. I know that's a lot, but I really want to put them all online.

Goslings sleeping

Here are a few of the things that caught my eye on our second visit to the Frankfurt Palmengarten (botanical garden).

The photos that were the most fun to take were the goslings; I was surprised that the parents (who were right nearby) didn't take much notice of me, even when I got within 2-3 feet of their babies! The little ones barely noticed me either. I took 200 images of them alone, so it was hard picking just 3 to show here.

Europe 2007: First days

I've just returned from a vacation in Germany and France. Over the next few days I'll be putting some of my 600 photos online, roughly in chronological order.
