Who doesn’t like closing the week with a picture of a flower from the Iowa State Fair?
Okay, I do know a couple such people.

Been a bit since I published a flower picture from my trip to the Iowa State Fair. Some would say too long.
Time to remedy that!
Every day we inch closer to the photo that got me kicked out of the Iowa State Fair flower garden.

PHOTOSHOP
Did some stuff. But not much.
Decided to keep a vow (that I made to myself) to go even harder on the Dream Effect. Might have to do this effect with a person soon. Hmmmmm…
You can also see what this image looked like before the effect was applied, by clicking on the image and closing the “Buy this Photo” noise put up by Photography 139’s Shameless Commerce Division.

Always a good time to post a flower picture from my trip to the Iowa State Fair.
Happy Friday the 13th, opening day of Cyclones’ basketball, and the release date of the MR. SHOW reboot. Today is a great day!

Last week, in the comments section of this here blog (sometimes known as THE ARTIST’S NOTEBOOK) I promised to publish a photo using a special effect known as the dream effect. It was all the rage in photo contests a few years back. This image is the culmination of a promise that dates back… like a week.
I put a little bit of a light touch on it. I want you to be aware that something isn’t quite right, but not immediately aware of what it is.

We have been invaded, by an enemy far more lethal than any human force.
-Brad Crane
This photo is another tribute to a personal hero of mine Brad Crane. The scientist that saved America from the horrible bee invasion of 1978. Not only did he save us while doing minimal damage to the environment, it can’t be understated how snappy a dresser he was. I salute you Brad Crane.

We’ve been fighting a losing battle against the insects for fifteen years, but I never thought I’d see the final face-off in my lifetime. And I never dreamed, that it would turn out to be the bees. They’ve always been our friend.
-Brad Crane
Many of you might not remember Brad Crane. He was a hero and national celebrity in 1978 when he helped fend off a swarm of killer bees that had invaded the southwest. The swarm destroyed large cities like Houston and small towns like Maryville. We almost lost hope. It is sad to think that his major contribution has almost completely forgotten.
I haven’t forgotten you Brad Cane!

I must really like these flowers because I took lots of pictures of them.
I threatened an all flower week a couple weeks back, but this might be that week.

It seems like a good time to return to the Iowa State Fair flower garden.
This also isn’t the picture that got me kicked out of the flower garden, but that one is coming up soon. I swear.

I obviously couldn’t go through the entire week without posting 1 flower picture. Russell would leave the family out of protest, I have no doubts…
Another flower picture from my trip to the Iowa State Fair.
