Here is a picture of a dirty daisy from my backyard.
I have a huge backlog of unedited images, so eventually there is going to be a huge photo dump. Ye. Be. Warned.

Here be a collection of pictures that didn’t make the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE cut for BODY PART:
Thanks for joining me to mock this pathetic collection of losers.
I think some of these pictures were taken at Becca’s Graduation Dinner. Not really sure any more. But we’ll go with that.
The rest were probably taken at Brookside Park.
Here are the pictures of 05-21-07:
Seems like the majority of next week’s folder took place in McHose Park.
Another flower from the Discovery Garden!
Probably more in the chute!

There are a ton of pictures in good old 05-19-07. Probably should’ve broken this up into different posts, but that is quitter talk!
Next Saturday’s post will be much shorter, I’m sure.
Thought I should publish a lily photo for people who like such things.
You can never go wrong with a picture of a lily. This one I found at the Iowa Arboretum.

PHOTO EDITING SOUNDTRACK: Cyclone Insider Podcast
When I present a bee picture, I always ask for a moment of silence to remember the millions that lost their lives in Houston during that terrible bee attack in the 1970s.
Please observe that moment of silence now.
So then this lady from Jersey says, “You know why New York pizza is the best pizza in the world? It is because of the great water in New Jersey. It is the best water in the world. They ship it into New York to make their pizza. That is why it is so great.”
Then she paused.
“I do like how everything is so cheap here. I saw a thousand dollar Mamiya camera here for $20. I know because I used to be in the photography industry. I called my friends in New York and asked them if any of them wanted me to pick it up for them. They haven’t called me back.”
At this time, I knew why they hadn’t called her back.
Steph said, “Maybe you would want to buy that camera.” to me.
Jersey looked at me and said, “It is manual. You probably couldn’t use it.”
Oh yeah, this is why everybody hates people from New Jersey.

PHOTO EDITING SOUNDTRACK: “Dearest” by Buddy Holly
Another flower from the Iowa State Fair Discovery Garden. This time from my trip with the old Campus crew.
After taking this picture, I sat down at a picnic table with Steph and Kellie eating some kind of fried potato concoction, when a lady from New Jersey sat down with us.
She started out friendly enough. She told us about her daughter who lived with her. How they were trying to make it to all 48 states by the end of the year. But then the signs of being from New Jersey started to come out.
First, innocently enough. She started telling us about how she used to be a ballerina, but some choreographer from ballet studio x was ruining that ballet because his choreographry was so terrible.
Then she moved on to telling us about how some county fair in New Jersey was better than the Iowa State Fair.
Then she started talking about how New York has the best pizza in the world.
Let’s stop there, because let’s be honest, New York Style pizza is the worst style of pizza in the world. There is a reason it is a buck a slice. That floppy mess is best used to feed rats on the subway.

PHOTO EDITING SOUNDTRACK: “Money” by Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings
There is a fairly large collection of rejected photos for this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE. So we better not dawdle.
Thanks for taking the time to join me in mocking this pathetic collection of losers.
Wasn’t sure what I would post today. Then Russell reminded me that it was World Photo Day. So I decided to post a flower photo, since Russell LOVES flower pictures:
Hopefully, you enjoyed World Photo Day.
