Today I flew home from Minnesota. I love getting out there and visiting the Mall of America. Next time I am going to the basement aquarium.
Getting in and out of the MSP airport is also very easy. I found a great place for eating, it is called IKE’s. They make the best breakfasts in the whole airport. And they have an appetizer that I would really like to try, lobster on a stick. It is a high end type of corn dog but instead it had lobster inside. Sounds yummy.
My flights were good, see when I have good flights they are much less interesting. I caught up on more podcasts and read a photography magazine cover to cover. See, not that interesting.
I won a contest over at Gadget Girl, my new favorite Tech blog (behind Flatwater Tech of course, sorry Loretta :-) ). Loretta and Blog & Podcaster magazine gave away three subscriptions and I was one of the lucky three to have my name pulled out of the hat or however it was chosen, the tape got munched by the computer gremlins. Anyway I am very excited to receive this magazine.
And today brought the end of BenSpark’s August Add It Up Contest. And the winners were Mo, Lisa and Christine. I had 18 total contestants and 13 that were pretty active. And I had so much fun counting up all the points responding to great comments and receiving some awesome feedback on so many things.
I missed two days of photographing the sunflowers but today I caught back up on my sunflower duties. Some of the flowers are already wilted. And some have bloomed. Here are some photos.

So what the heck is the first one?
Oh, I guess I failed to explain that. The image is of one area of the MSP airport near IKE’s and the E gates. It really looks cool as you look up.
nice pictures, i like the red flower most
Great pics, Drew! Love the flowers ones!
Thanks J-man, You are a commenting machine. The red flower is also one of my favorite ones to take photos of.
Melissa, so very nice of you to start commenting on the blog. I really appreciate it. And glad you like the flowers.
Ah, those are some beautiful flowers. Congrats on winning AND having a peaceful and uneventful flight. lol It seems the less stress and annoyances that occur when traveling the better.
Sadly I’ve never been to the mall of America, although I have desperately wanted to go for a very long time now. ;_;
Hi Joana,
I know I should be thankful for an uneventful flight however sometimes they make for more entertaining blog posts. Thanks for the congrats about winning the subscription. I was excited about it, I look forward to reading that magazine. The Mall of America is pretty fun, I hope you get there someday.
