Honing my skills ...

That's what I'm trying to do, and the Holden Arboretum is a great place to find the photo opps. This morning I spent an hour in the Butterfly Garden and came home reasonably happy with the results. One of my goals was to smooth out the water on this little waterfall. How did I do?

There haven't been many butterflies to blip because of the cool weather, but today was a little warmer, and I managed to capture a few, along with a frog, a bee and some landscape shots. You can see them here if you are interested.

P.S. Thanks to those who commented on my holiday links yesterday. I had fun putting those albums together for my family.
