Anne and I travelled to the US in summer 2007. We visited my family in Texas then went to Arizona for the wedding of Patrick and Karen. Anne took pictures of the trip as well, and when she posts them I will link from here. We took pictures of different things - partially by design. Much of my photography was of birds that we saw when we went birdwatching. Those pictures will go into the bird database if I ever get it finished.
