REMINDER

It is once again time for me (and by me, I mean you guys) to pick out my photos to enter in the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest. Once again, I am going to leave it up to a popular vote.

The Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest allows you to enter up to 6 photos.

There are 4 Categories:

1. Nature
2. Photojournalism
3. Photoshop Enhanced
4. Hidden Treasures of Boone County.

I have selected 60 images for you to consider. To simplify things, I have split the 60 photos into 6 sets of 10. If you wish to exercise your enfranchisement, clicking on the link below will take you to Poll #1. Vote for one of those pictures and then move onto the next poll, until you have voted in all six polls.

The winner of EACH poll will be entered into the Pufferbilly Days Photo Contest.

Voting will end at midnight, August 8.

One of my favorite places at the Iowa State Fair is the Discovery Garden. Many people that have attended the fair with me know that at some point we will part company and I will spend close to an hour there. Sometimes people choose to just wait me out. It is a foolish idea, unless you are in need of rest and have some delicious fair food to put into your belly.

Here are some pictures from last year’s trip to the Iowa State Fair:

I have one more set of Iowa State Fair flower pictures in the hopper. Don’t worry, I’ll feed you baby birds!
