Cooper Creek Park
Columbus Botanical Garden
Beautiful Saturday mornings are not to be wasted. At least that is what I told myself to get moving this morning. I also have to leave on a business trip Monday and will not get a chance to visit my local haunts for almost a week. Plus, we all know I can settle my butt on the couch easy enough so… off I ventured.
First stop was Cooper Creek Park to continue practicing my bird photography. I still have a lot to learn but the attempt is fun. I ran into another photographer and he shared a few more local places for me to explore. Destinations duly noted! Thanks Matt!

Before I went back home I drove to the botanical garden. Early morning is my time. Generally not many visitors and only a handful of volunteers. Practically had the place to myself… so wonderful.
