More Pics

I decided to dig up some more of my "old pictures" and post them. Most were taken with a digital camera. One or two weren't. To see them a bit bigger, just click on them.

I realised that I just don't have any good pictures from when I lived in Texas, probably for two reasons. First, I didn't do much sightseeing. I didn't see any need to since I had lived there for, ummm, a lot of years. Second, I moved to England at the beginning of the digital camera boom, so the ones I did take were scanned into the computer with a not-so-great scanner. Unfortunately the originals and their negatives are lost to me now.

Hopefully I will have a load of new photos to upload soon!

Upcoming Pictures

I'm sorry I haven't posted anything recently, but I've been busy with university, kids, work, etc. In just over a week I'll be heading off to Brussels for a "school trip", and based on the pictures I've seen on travel sites on the net, I am going to have some awesome photo opportunites! So after I come back on the 25th, I hope to post some of my travel photos, and hopefully some more arty ones too!

The professors in charge of the trip have arranged tours of the following places: the EU Parliament, Council and Commission; the Stella Artois brewery; and the Duval chocolate factory. They're also hoping to make a stop in Bruges on the way to Brussels, and a stop in Calais on the way home (though a lot of that will be taken up with shopping for booze!). There's a night out arranged in a restaurant and then a night club.

Yep, I think I'm going to get some interesting pictures!

Happy Birthday Malorie!
