There have been holiday celebrations and vacations during my life.  As a child, Christmas was the big holiday in my life.  Of course birthdays were important too.  I remember two vacations as a child.  My sister and I went on a vacation with our grandparents to the West.  This was my first trip to the Rocky Mountains and the first of many trips to Yellowstone. As an adult, there have been vacations in England, Scotland, Wales, Thailand, the Philippines, and throughout the U.S. and Canada.  These holidays and vacations included many thousands of photographs.  I have taken a few shots from holidays and vacations.  It would be impossible to include all photos.  So I have picked a few to place in galleries on the Holiday and Vacations pages.
