I separated these Barcelona Botanical Garden photos from the rest because I
took so many photos there.Photos from Marburg2010-05-22T17:25:36Z2010-05-22T17:25:36Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01274549136<div style="float:right;clear:right"><!-- img_8499.jpg--><div class=albumouter style=width:306px id=><div class=albumimage style="width:306px;margin-left:0.0px;"><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274549136/img_8499-medium.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="album" title="One of many camellias at the New Botanic Garden in Marburg."><img src="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274549136/img_8499-small.jpg" width=300 height=225></a><div ><div style="float: right" ><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274549136/img_8499-medium.jpg">(M)</a><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274549136/img_8499.jpg">(L)</a></div><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274549136/img_8499.jpg">One of many camellias at the New Botanic Garden in Marburg.</a></div></div></div>
</div>We spent a day visiting Marburg, near Frankfurt, which is a wonderful town with lots of neat old architecture and a fantastic botanic garden.Frankfurt Palmengarten2010-05-17T01:35:21Z2010-05-17T01:35:21Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01274060121<div style="float:right;clear:right"><!-- img_8020.jpg--><div class=albumouter style=width:306px id=><div class=albumimage style="width:231px;margin-left:37.5px;"><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274060121/img_8020-medium.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="album" title="Colorful orchid."><img src="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274060121/img_8020-small.jpg" width=225 height=300></a><div ><div style="float: right" ><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274060121/img_8020-medium.jpg">(M)</a><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274060121/img_8020.jpg">(L)</a></div><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01274060121/img_8020.jpg">Colorful orchid.</a></div></div></div>
</div>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 nearby2010-05-13T00:15:41Z2010-05-13T00:15:41Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01273709741<div style="float:right;clear:right"><!-- img_7787.jpg--><div class=albumouter style=width:306px id=><div class=albumimage style="width:306px;margin-left:0.0px;"><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01273709741/img_7787-medium.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="album" title="Bugloss from the Canary Islands (Echium callithrysum)"><img src="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01273709741/img_7787-small.jpg" width=300 height=225></a><div ><div style="float: right" ><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01273709741/img_7787-medium.jpg">(M)</a><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01273709741/img_7787.jpg">(L)</a></div><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01273709741/img_7787.jpg">Bugloss from the Canary Islands (Echium callithrysum)</a></div></div></div>

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 Palmengarten2010-04-21T08:14:01Z2010-04-21T08:14:01Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01271837641

Here are a few of the things that caught my eye on our second visit to the
<a href="http://www.palmengarten.frankfurt.de/">Frankfurt Palmengarten
(botanical garden)</a>.
<p>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.Lauritzen Gardens2009-09-07T00:41:02Z2009-09-07T00:41:02Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01252284062<div style="float:right;clear:right"><!-- img_6595-crop.jpg--><div class=albumouter style=width:306px id=><div class=albumimage style="width:306px;margin-left:0.0px;"><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01252284062/img_6595-crop-medium.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="album" title="Moth on flower"><img src="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01252284062/img_6595-crop-small.jpg" width=300 height=201></a><div ><div style="float: right" ><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01252284062/img_6595-crop-medium.jpg">(M)</a><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01252284062/img_6595-crop.jpg">(L)</a></div><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01252284062/img_6595-crop.jpg">Moth on flower</a></div></div></div>
</div>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!Ingrid's Garden2009-07-22T00:30:28Z2009-07-22T00:30:28Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01248222628

Ingrid invited me out to take a picture of a moth. By the time I grabbed
and reassembled my camera, the moth was gone--but I took some other photos
of plants and insects.Chicago: Garfield Park Conservatory2009-07-19T21:09:06Z2009-07-19T21:09:06Zhttps://emergent.unpythonic.net/01248037746<div style="float:right;clear:right"><!-- img_5236.jpg--><div class=albumouter style=width:306px id=><div class=albumimage style="width:306px;margin-left:0.0px;"><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01248037746/img_5236-medium.jpg" class="thickbox" rel="album" title="Koi"><img src="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01248037746/img_5236-small.jpg" width=300 height=200></a><div ><div style="float: right" ><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01248037746/img_5236-medium.jpg">(M)</a><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01248037746/img_5236.jpg">(L)</a></div><a href="https://media.unpythonic.net/emergent-files/01248037746/img_5236.jpg">Koi</a></div></div></div>

We took a weekend trip to Chicago. My camera came out when we went to Garfield
Park.
