I got to be the conference unofficial official photographer. One of the other physicists lent me his fabulous 5D to use for the week. Wow- it was fun, and I built up lots of upper body strenght lugging it around everywhere. I shoot some of the conference sessions, coffee breaks, dinners, but mostly, it was fun to wander around the hotel to make a few photos (okay, hundreds of photos). My conference photos here.
I don't remember what type of trees these are, but they lost little white fuzz into the air. The hotel was gorgeous and the food was incredible. Lunch buffets below.
