Follow Friday – More Summer Flowers

I’m back again this week with more flower photography for you. In addition to two photos from my Aunt’s house, two others are from our trip to the fair, and the other three are from my very own garden. See if you can figure out which is which.

Have a great weekend!

MrWordsWorth If I have learned anything, it’s that there are people who know less about women than I do, and they’re all in politics.

sgnp Big thanks to ninjas from parents everywhere for helping us convince our kids that being quiet is awesome.

DCdebbie If only Republicans probed Mitt Romney’s tax returns like they do women’s vaginas.

Smethanie Just had emergency training at my office. Apparently the correct answer to what to do if there’s a bomb in the building is not “live tweet.”

JulieFredericks There should be a rock opera about burritos.

RadioVicky My line-up of Skype avatars is a fairly decent representation of people I’d like to sleep with.

shariv67 Billion is such a pedestrian word. Romney prefers to measure his wealth in Instagrams.

muffpunch Every time I come out of the bathroom without my skirt tucked into my spanx is a personal victory.

HonestToddler Thanks for lying on the floor near me with eyes closed while I play. I feel really engaged.

vladchoc Keeping track of the things God hates. So far I have devils, butt stuff, fake wizards, real wizards, Hamburglars, saying “jizz” and cavemen.

Daniel_Knauf Why do ghosts wear clothes? Do garments have souls too? I’m haunted by the ghosts of all those single socks I’ve lost.

CanuckMackem My buddy told me he was having sex with twins… I asked how do you tell them apart? He said, “Her brother has a mustache.”

itsWillyFerrell If you’ve never jumped from one couch to the other to avoid the lava, then you never had a childhood.

shariv67 Dear Fate, When I ask, “How can this day get any worse?” it’s a rhetorical question. Not a challenge.

HapaKoleaJen When I see asshole drivers weaving in & out of traffic, I know it’s because of their explosive diarrhea. I have empathy for them.

markleggett Megan Fox’s baby bump looks a lot like me so far. I totally look like a bump.

LJo83 Do you ever get the urge to stop what you’re doing, look at the ceiling, and shout, “End Program!” You know, just on the off chance?

the_moonface Instagram is where my Twitter friends and my Facebook friends meet and exchange awkward looks across the table.

badbanana Good news, everyone in my section for the Mumford and Sons concert. I brought my vuvuzela!

stephenfalk I just saw who I thought was Lou Reed but then he started digging in the garbage but then I was still like, “Well, maybe.”

morninggloria Why hasn’t there been an episode of Revenge where the protagonist has a baby, loses weight and is then photographed looking sexy in a bikini?

AlbertBrooks Akin clarifies his rape comment: “I just meant it’s like when people don’t die in a legitimate murder.”

SarcasticRover I’ve decided to run for President of the United States. My first campaign promise is to bring me back from Mars.

badbanana How come nobody bothered to warn me about the dangers of eating corn on the cob while driving?

shariv67 Just because I don’t advocate violence doesn’t mean I don’t root for it on occasion.

VaguelyFunnyDan Just bought autotune for my mom so it’ll sound like some cool robot is calling twice a day to talk about its impending hysterectomy.

veinarmor Broke a crayon. This entire project is in jeopardy.

bumlaser I believe I may be talking to the same person at Comcast who I forced to call me Batman last week.

rolldiggity “Civil disobedience!” Matt cried, drawing a dinosaur eating a spaceship in the memo section of his rent check.

natazilla She had the kind of butt you just wanted to wrap yourself up and die in. A butt to take home to ma. A butt… to kill for.

paulapoundstone I wonder which doctors Todd Akin has been talking to. He may be sicker than he thinks.

PaulRyanGosling Hey girl, I want you to know that I’ll NEVER say what Akin said about “legitimate” rape. I’ll just try to pass it into law.

TheMamamash My kid steals my phone so he can hide behind the recliner, watch Yo Gabba Gabba and poop. Obviously, he’s mirroring Daddy’s iPhone usage.

GlancesNods Just ate 10 doughnuts, legitimately, butRepToddAkin taught me how to shut that stuff down so I won’t gain weight.

steveweddle All this “can’t get pregnant from rape” talk makes me wonder if under-funding our schools was maybe a bad idea.

lanyardquirk Remember when our nation’s biggest problem was a rash of counterfeit Slim Shadys? A patriot had to write an entire cautionary rap about it!

JennyJohnsonHi5 Being rejected by the female body is definitely something Rep. Todd Akin is used to.

Lilacmess Every day has a small disaster. I guess part of aging is the trial and error of putting them out.

KeepinItSnazzy Apparently if you smoke a lot of weed in high school you spend the next 10 years reconnecting with friends through drive-thru windows

NicLewis Those vacuum space-saving bags don’t work on laser printers.

taralibrara I just sneezed like nobody’s watching.

FarrenSquare Don’t worry, every one. I just bought really awesome warm boots so now summer will never end.

TeaPartyCat Todd Akin: “I misspoke when I said women can’t get pregnant from legitimate rape. What I meant was I don’t give two shits if she does.”

mallelis When frightened the average uterus will emit a high-pitched scream that instantly stuns its attackers

rudepundit What’s a Republican gotta say before he/she is no longer a legitimate candidate? The bar’s pretty fuckin’ high.

AngieMacMcA The female body also has ways of shutting down your whole election RepToddAkin.

countondowntown GOP Rep Todd Akin now says he misspoke. He meant to say that sinful witches float whereas innocent women sink.

EMKokie Somewhere alien life forms are saying, yeah, no, we need to skip this planet. They will give you brain damage if you eat them.

JamesUrbaniak Surely with his love of Ayn Rand and grunge-era rock music Paul Ryan deserves to inherit the mantle of America’s Oldest Teenager.

WeirdHorse Why do herds suddenly appear, every time, ewes are near? Just like me, cows long to be, close to ewes

weinerdog4life When we were younger, my wife and I would park and make out, now we park and eat hamburgers from Burger King.
