Yeah. This is late again. It has been crazy. What can I say. These images are from January 2007. They are in a folder named ICE STORM. None of the pictures of the ice storm were worth saving though. Next Saturday’s folder is entitled “Minnesota”.
A briefer trip down Memory Lane this time. Another folder from January of 2007. Once again. Sorry this was late. You know… life… and stuff…

Unsolved My Personal Photo Project this week was to photograph the most famous allegedly haunted house in Iowa. The Villisca Axe Murder House.

Now that I am officially caught back up with my blogging, I’d like to do a little bit of general house cleaning and look at some completely meaningless statistics.
