This shows you how deep my backlog goes. These are images I took on July 3. Of 2016.
They were taken at the Iowa Arboretum, which is one of Boone County’s forgotten little gems. I like to go there after they are closed because I can have the whole place to myself. Costs $5 to get in. Which is a steal, I reckon!
I’m not done with the Iowa Arboretum quite yet. The title of this here journal entry might have tipped you off to that fact. I reckon.
These FLOWER pictures didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the FLOWER theme of the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
No telling what these pictures could accomplish if they only believed in themselves!

A young Johnathan Stensland among the photos in the folder 09-09-07:
Next Saturday’s walk down memory lane will include what I’m sure might have been the wedding of the year in 2007!
This is your reminder that this week’s WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is FLOWER:
So head to your local greenhouse, flowershop, garden, your flowerbed, or whatever and get close with a FLOWER.
Happy photo harvesting!

The rest of the TREE images that didn’t have what it takes to make the cut for the WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE:
It just a shame that these pictures don’t believe in themselves.
So I went and bought a new toy. Took a picture with it:
Now. I’m very far from figuring out how to use the new toy, but when I figure it out, it could be a lot of fun!
