February 2, 2010: I was fortunate to be able to visit England, France and Germany in December, and I brought back quite a few photos. I've posted a "Highlights" gallery below that features some of the best. For the full set, see Europe, Dec 2009.

Highlights of Travel in Europe, Dec 2009 : Here are some of the best pictures from the trip; if you like them, there are many more in the individual galleries for these places.  I started off in England, staying in the village of Great Missenden, about 35 miles northwest of London, and visiting London, Oxford and St. Alban's.  Then a few shots of Paris, concentrating on the Cité, Notre Dame and the Île Saint-Louis.  Finally, Germany, where I took photos in Köln, Bamberg, and Nürnberg.

Tellico River, Oct 2009 : While visiting Murphy, I took a drive with my dad over the Tennessee line to the Tellico River area.  The first few pictures are from the NC part of the drive, and were taken along Beaver Dam Rd, maybe ten miles northwest of Murphy.  After crossing the higher mountains and the state line, we explored the upper reaches of the Tellico River and its tributaries.  I took most of these pictures along either the North River or Laurel Branch--I can't remember which.

Kingsbury, TX, September 2009 : These photos are from a visit to my brother out in Kingsbury, TX, where he has lived while working at the Shiner Brewery.  His place is out in the country, in the midst of an oil field, and his landlord grazes cattle and horses right by his house.  One will see here his dog Lucy, the property and some of its animals, and some nearby oil wells.  While we were there, we made some homebrew beer, and there are a few pictures at the end of Brett and Paul employing an unorthodox lautering technique.

Watauga Lake and Dam - August 2009 : These photos were from a short camping trip I took with friends, to Watauga Lake in Tennessee.  We camped along the shore of the lake, and took a short hike on the AT up to the dam.  The trail actually runs across the top of the dam.  You can see here the lake and the dam, and my friends Jimmy and Jenny.
