It's a bit of a jumble, but here are the highlights from the rest of my
California photos. These are from all over the trip, including: one from
Mendocino, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Point Lobos, Sunset and Moonrise in
Monterey, and one from the Golden Gate Park Arboretum.

(M)(L)Sea otter chows down while sea gull hopes for leftovers
On our way back from Monterey to San Francisco, we rode a
pontoon boat on the Elkhorn Slough
near Moss Landing (named for Mr. Moss, not the plant). This provided the
trip's best opportunity to get close to seals, sea lions, and sea otters.

(M)(L)img_7428-crop
Here are some photos from the Monetery Bay Aquarium, where

Click through for a few pictures from California, mostly from around

forest. The long-tailed weasel (not a ferret!) is from half-moon bay.
Dresden Photos [01279402354]
(M)(L)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 [01276172604]
(M)(L)Tiny cluster of flowers
I separated these Barcelona Botanical Garden photos from the rest because I
took so many photos there.

back in March.
Photos from Marburg [01274549136]

Frankfurt Palmengarten [01274060121]
(M)(L)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.
Photos from the Barcelona Botanic Garden and nearby [01273709741]
(M)(L)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.
Frankfurt Palmengarten [01271837641]
(M)(L)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.
Ingrid's Minnesota Photos [01252892825]
(M)(L)Swiss chard
Except for the first picture, the first batch are from our late August
trip up to the Twin Cities. We enjoyed visiting cousins and exploring
some of the sites. Most of the photos are from the beautiful Minnesota
Landscape Arboretum.
The second batch, beginning with the rocks, are from a trip over Labor Day weekend to Omaha's Lauritzen
Gardens--lots of fun flowers, and even some veggies.
Lauritzen Gardens [01252284062]
(M)(L)Moth on flower
We took a trip to the Lauritzen Gardens in Omaha today.
Here are a few of my photos. Apparently I've done about 6600 shutter
releases on the camera I bought this spring--wow!
Minneapolis Bugs and Stuff [01251675328]
(M)(L)White Crab Spider
We took a weekend trip to Minneapolis to visit some relatives. For

(M)(L)A small yard full of plants
These are Ingrid's photos from our recent trip to Chicago. Photos from the
Lincoln Park Zoo, Lincoln Park Conservatory, Garfield Park Conservatory
and the Sheffield Garden Tour. No community gardens or farmers'
markets--shocking!

in South Florida.
Florida: Mostly Orchids [01235876072]
(M)(L)img_2914
After the earlier set of non-orchid plant photos, here's an album of mostly
orchids. A few other things crept in, because I can't resist (and because
in putting together the earlier albums I'd forgotten about 400 phtotos
from my second memory card!)
Florida: Animals [01235857247]
(M)(L)Lizard
I'm saving the birds for an upcoming post, but here's a survey of the other
animals we saw on the trip.
Florida: Non-Orchid Plants [01235794422]
(M)(L)img_0212
Lots of things were flowering in Florida. Other plants were just interesting
even without flowers. I intend to devote another page to the orchids we saw,
but here are the non-orchid plants. Updated 2009-02-29: Added image
titles.
Florida: Bugs and Spiders edition [01235167452]
(M)(L)Spiny orb weaver
These photos are from several days of our Florida trip. Most are hand-held
with a Sigma 105mm macro lens on a Rebel XSi. Many are cropped.
Update, 2009-02-25: Cropped many more of the photos now that I'm
back at a nice fast machine, and revised some descriptions.
Florida: Fruit and Spice Park, and Everglades [01235093100]

(M)(L)Bee on coneflower
On our last day in Montréal the weather finally clearedit had
been raining for two days straightso Ingrid and I headed to the
Jardin Botanique (Botanical Garden). Unfortunately, we only had a few
hours to spend at the gardens and so we only saw about a quarter of it. In
that time I still managed to get a bunch of nice photos.
Canada Trip 2007 [01184844627]
As we pause in Quebec City, I thought I should take the time to upload a few
photos.
Europe 2007: First days [01177464693]
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.
Photos from my recent trip to Canada [01124916046]
Here are some photographs from my recent trip to British Columbia,
along with Ingrid and her folks. We first went to Victoria, visiting several
nearby beaches and the Buchant gardens. Later we went to Whistler, a ski
village north of Vancouver. I took only a few photos there. Finally, we spent
the last day and a half in Vancouver itself, but I didn't take any pictures.
Ingrid has more photos from Whistler and Vancouver, perhaps she'll put them
online someday.
Canada dinner experience, links to photos [01123908684]
… she actually did. Through time travel I hope to be able to recover the picture after…
