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.

After the earlier set of non-orchid plant photos, here's an album of mostly

in putting together the earlier albums I'd forgotten about 400 phtotos
from my second memory card!)
