Yesterday afternoon (after waiting most of the day for the sun to show up) we went out to the Dubuque Arboretum. I haven’t been there yet this year so I was hoping there were some blooming flowers.
It was pretty barren around the Arboretum. It was only 58 degrees, overcast, and windy. Not great conditions to shoot plant life but we were there so I captured some images. Even thought I used my 90 mm macro lens and a ring flash the wind was strong enough that I didn’t get as sharp of images as I would like.
There were maybe 10 other people there. Most of them were walking for exercise. there are a lot of trails and some hills at the Arboretum so it does make a good place to walk. Talk about being out of shape. We spent about 35 minutes at the Arboretum walking around looking for images and by the end of that I was tired. 😦
Anyway after our visit to the Arboretum we stopped at Dairy Queen and got a couple of Blizzards. I guess I’ll start working out tomorrow. 🙂
After our visit to the Arboretum we drove around for a while looking for other things to shoot. We went past the barn that I made an HDR image of last Fall. It probably is the best barn shot I’ve ever taken. The light wasn’t very good today so I’ll try to capture it in good light and maybe do a 4 seasons collection of it.
Enjoy your Monday. Hope you all have a good week. Thanks for stopping by and be careful.

You are a great ambassador for the Port of Dubuque. You have exposed us to so much of interest in the Dubuque area. We cannot wait to now find and walk the arboretum (although we will wait until it is a little warmer). Thanks for sharing!
