The rest of the Digging for Gold – 2012 Series:
Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week is still somewhat of a mystery to me.

This week’s Personal Photo Project was to photograph the flowers of the Iowa State Fair.

I only made it to the Iowa State Fair once this year. I went with Nader on the last day of the fair to pick up my entries for the Photography Salon.
I’ll try to do better next year.
Nader
Mmmmmmmmmm… Chocolate Moose!
Sara has already agreed that my birthday cake will look like this next year.
The Butterfly Exhibit was somewhat of a disappointment.
Not 100% sure what next week’s Random Wednesday will be. Probably some ISU football pictures.
I made it to the State Fair twice this year. I went once on a Friday to see Maroon 5 with Jill. Then on the last day of the Fair I went with my Mom. I met up with Derrick, Jen, and Evie. We ran into Sara, Shawn, and Cousin Amy. Here are some pictures from those trips:
Jill with her turkey leg.
The damage she did to that turkey leg.
Even though Jill is a Legacy Member of the Maroon 5 Fan Club, she felt our seats could have been better…
I thought that they were pretty good.
For some reason, Maroon 5 played before Train. Don’t know why, but at least we didn’t have to endure Train.
Evie loves baby animals!
Evie is a toe wiggler!
Evie supports winners!
We heard the following at this stand a lot: “1 fried butter on a stick and a bottle of water, please!”
You can’t imagine how hard it was for me NOT to photoshop that terrible Hawk logo out of this picture, but trust me, despite what his wardrobe is telling the world, Shawn is a good guy. He just doesn’t know how to dress.
With the 2nd Place Picture
With the Honorable Mention Picture
Some people view this as impressive.
Looking forward to next year’s fair already!
Personal Photo Project of the Week #43 was to take pictures in one of my favorite flower gardens at the Iowa State Fair. Here are a few of the other images.
Only about 9 more months until the next State Fair!
Here are a few more pictures of my trip to the State Fair.
Last year I had only 1 goal and that was to see The Blue Band. Instead of getting to see The Blue Band I was nearly killed on a midway ride and spent the rest of the night trying not to vomit up my innards. This year I was able to see The Blue Band.
Nader’s First Turkey Leg
A Happy State Fair Memory
The DNR Building – One of my favorite buildings.
I would consider putting a pond in my yard, just so I could have water lilies.
Nader wanted his picture taken with the Story County flag.
A few pictures from my trip to the State Fair with Nader. We met up with Mom, Carla and Alexis. Later we met up briefly with the Baiers. I won them some Upper Iowa University band aids. I’m guessing their “Thank You” is in the mail.
At the end of the day Nader thanked me for the best day he has had all year. Quite frankly I wonder why more people don’t thank me for such things.
Star Boars
This sand sculpture is actually more interesting than the movies.
I love this painting! I want it hanging in my house. Just not for $300 smackers.
Alexis won a medal in a tumbling competition that didn’t look the safest to me.
Nader seemed to think this sculpture was of him.
In one of my favorite buildings Pioneer Hall.
A “Mark Twain” style storyteller.
A few more pictures coming on the morrow.
