This did not turn out at ALL how I had anticipated. Inspiration came in the form of the movie poster from American Beauty only with me floating freely in a sea of hearts. EPIC CLONING FAIL (this being the photo in its near original form)!! Anyway, I was reminded that the project is all about learning and improving my photography so I will chalk this one up to experience (or lack thereof) and try it again on a smaller scale at some point in the future.
CUTAWAY MODEL OF THE TYPE OF BULB TURBINE THAT WILL BE USED AT IDAHO FALLS.
THE DEMONSTRATION PROJECT AT IDAHO FALLS CONSISTS OF REDEVELOPING THE CITY'S THREE EXISTING POWER PLANT SITES. THESE THREE SITES, ALONG THE SNAKE RIVER, ARE GOING TO CONTAIN LOW-HEAD HYDROELECTRIC PLANTS. A 7.2 MWE BULB TURBINE-GENERATOR WILL BE INSTALLED ON EACH SITE. ONE SITE WILL ALSO MAINTAIN TWO EXISTING 1.875 MWE UNITS AS STANDBY OR PEAK FLOW UNITS. PRIOR TO THIS PROJECT, BULB TURBINES HAD ONLY BEEN USED FOR HIGH POWER GENERATION. THIS PROJECT IS GOING TO DEMONSTRATE THAT BULB TURBINES CAN BE USED ECONOMICALLY FOR SMALL-SCALE, LOW-HEAD HYDROELECTRIC POWER GENERATION. THE PROJECT IS ALSO GOING TO DEMONSTRATE THAT THIS TECHNOLOGY CAN BE USED IMMEDIATELY, IT DOES NOT NEED EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT.

This is not a dandelion. I was planning a shot that involved a dandelion, but when I went to get my dandelion it was closed up. I hope it's just closed up for the night and not dead so I can try it tomorrow.
an explanation :
there is a place in my building where people who are moving can leave stuff for other people to take. the idea is that other people might want this stuff.
however some people are confused about the system.

It's Bokeh Wednesday! So I'm wandering around Wal-Mart with a camera on my shoulder... impulsively buying crap... I'm such a nerd. The woman that almost kicked my camera as she walked around the corner confirmed that fact for me...
In the dime stores and bus stations
People talk of situations
Read books, repeat quotations
Draw conclusions on the wall
Some speak of the future
My love she speaks softly
She knows there’s no success like failure
And that failure’s no success at all
