Now that I'm slowly getting the hang of Lightroom I'm reducing the backlog on my travel photos slowly but steadily.

This little collection is still from my shameful "DSLR in auto mode" days, but then again travel preparations are hard enough without learning to use your new toys. Anyway, as part of my experiments I was chasing helpless butterflies and even more helpless flowers around the house and pushing the macro end of my kit lens. While some of the photos got surprisingly good let me apologize in advance for any oversaturation caused by auto mode. :-)

It also gives me a chance to try the latest feature of my blog software: inserting the content of an entire gallery album with a simple line of markup text. I'm still working on the layout part, but while I'm doing that you can enjoy these little photos.

Could there be anything more Swiss than this cow? Yes, cause this is actually some sort of Scottish high mountain cow. :-)
