…I went for a photowalk in the Holden Arboretum, one of my favorite places to spend time with (or without) my camera. My chosen destination was the butterfly garden, but once there, I saw very few butterflies. There was a hummingbird flitting around in the colorful flowers, but he wouldn’t sit for a photo opp, if you can imagine that! However, there were plenty of wonderful things to see and photograph, so despite the scarcity of butterflies, I still came home with some special images to present the beauty of the Arboretum (Remember to click on a picture to scroll through the gallery).

Happy Fourth to you and your family, Camille, including the canines. The Arboretum is a great place for a photo walk. For some reason, I haven’t been there this spring, and because the winter was so bad, I didn’t go then either. Summer has arrived, and I decided I had better get off my duff and go see what I could find. I really have no excuse. It’s only 20 minutes from my front door. Thanks for stopping in to see the pictures. 😀

Thanks for a lovely walk! Beautiful flowers, and I loved the butterfly…it looked like an airplane;)

An airplane describes the butterfly’s pose very well. I was hoping to see more butterflies, but we had a late spring, and it looks like a late summer too. I’m glad you came along and enjoyed the walk.

You got that just right, Belinda. Restful is what I am hoping for when I visit the Arboretum. And, of course, a dozen or so good pictures! Thanks for visiting.
