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.
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.

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 [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 Marburg [01274549136]
(M)(L)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.
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.
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.
