2009 Photos

These are photos from 2009. We spent New Years in Girard, KS and later in January traveled to Lancaster, PA for a friend's wedding. In February I had quick trip to San Francisco to visit Stanford University. In April our friend Karen cut down three walnut trees and let me haul away the wood. We had fun milling the lumber at Sawmill Express in Manchester and stacking it in our barn to dry. Later in April I attended a network research meeting in Venice, Italy. Venice is a fabulous city and we enjoyed the trip very much. There are a bunch of cranes that nest in the Manchester area during the summer and they would visit our area regularly, knocking on basement windows. I've taken many photos of the cranes over the years. In June I retired from Internet2 and spent most of the summer around home, working on various remodeling projects, and doing some woodworking, along with working on my photography. I've taken approximately 12,000 pictures this decade, and w've seen digital photography become the norm during that period. In November we vacationed for 10 days in Thailand and it was a beautiful and relaxing trip. Thailand is a great country to visit with a wonderful culture and very friendly people. Enjoy!
