More pictures from the The Girl in the Blue Skirt Beta -2012 Series:
More lily pictures on the morrow.
Even though my lily patch didn’t take off quite like I had hoped this year (due to neglect and heat), all of these lily pictures are either my lilies or my Mom’s lilies. I didn’t go trolling for lilies any place else this year. Although I did check out my grandma’s lilies, but I missed my window of opportunity on those this year.

I suppose I should have given you some warning that you would be looking at picture of Naked Ladies. I hope that didn’t offend anyone. Okay, I don’t really care if it offended anyone.
More lily pictures on the morrow.
Now that the State Fair has all but concluded, I thought I would share the picture that was accepted into this year’s Photography Salon:
Micky gets the assist credit on this photo. He is the one that plucked this lotus from Lake Augustin and placed it in my care. Then I set it on fire.
I would reveal the other 3 submissions that were rebuked, but I don’t want to hurt their feelings and I’m afraid that couldn’t take the public humiliation. My pictures have very tender souls.
For those of you wondering, I will not be doing the Pufferbilly Day Photo Contest this year. I’m either retired or semi-retired from that contest. In fact, I’m pretty sure the State Fair Photography Salon is the only photo contest I will pursue in the future.
However, my mind has been known to change every now and again.
Having other people select my entrants was kind of fun.
This week’s project was to photograph coneflowers. Coneflowers are probably a top 5 flower for me. Admittedly, they aren’t much to look at, but I find the transformation the flower makes over its total lifespan to be fascinating.
The rest of the Happy Things – 2012 Series:
Next week’s Personal Photo Project of the Week will involve either hollyhocks or sunflowers.
I’m sure that it is well documented that I love alliums. They are definitely in my top 5 favorite flowers. Probably top 3. This week’s project was simply to photograph alliums.
The rest of the Unceasing Effort Series:
I was fortunate to grow some alliums this year. I hope next year to be able to grow even more. As I have some decent plans for my flower beds next year!
