Yesterday, Baby Got Rack competed at the State Fair barbecue contest. After we got the pork and the chicken on the smoker, we had a couple of hours to kill. We smoke the chicken and pork for close to two hours and then we allow the meat to rest another… Read More »Discoverbee

I’m starting to work on my endgame for Postcard Series #2. I’d like to do this once a week where I get out and shoot some part of Boone County for the use in the endgame. Most recently I spent a little bit of time in Ledges. These are the… Read More »Series #2 Alpha
A mixture of wildlife and tulips in the folder 04-28-07: The folder for next Saturday doesn’t have much in it. Maybe a couple of tulip photos. We’ll see.
Plenty of deer photos populated the 04-23-07 folder. Next Saturday’s folder has lots of tulips!
Looks like all the photos from the folder 04-21-07 are from a trip to a park in north Ames. The next folder has lots of deer in it. Again.
Mostly deer in the folder 04-20-07. Next week’s folder looks to be goose heavy, but if you play your cards right, there might be some turtles!
I hope many of you got out and celebrated Naima Day! It has now been almost 5 years since I drove home from a farm near Hubbard with America’s favorite dog. Here are a couple of pictures of her to help you celebrate! Mark your calendars! Only 365 days until… Read More »Happy Naima Day!
I’m not 100% sure where I took the photos in the folder 04-29-07, but my best guess is Ada Hayden. Next Saturday’s walk down Memory Lane will involve more deer!
Took this photo of Naima as we were cruising for one of our walks on the backside of McHose Park. I don’t recommend you attempt this photo, unless you are as skilled of a driver as I am. Just sayin’… Great hands also help. Big hands wouldn’t hurt either. PARTICULARS… Read More »Car Ride!
A picture of Karma, some flower pictures, and a Thomas Merton quote is what I found in the folder named 04-18-07. Looks like deer photos will be the feature in the next walk down my memory lane.
I spent a good chunk of a couple of my vacation days doing yard work. While I was moving my woodpile, I came across this fascinating creature. I just wish that we would’ve gotten to know each other better. PARTICULARS CAMERA: SONY SLT-A65V ISO: 100 FOCAL LENGTH: 60mm APERTURE: f/5… Read More »Wood Pile Buddy
The collection of images in the folder 04-14-07 includes one of Alexis’ many hamsters, The Chiz’s first Iowa State Spring Game, and lots of squirrel! Next week’s collection will include June and Dean Miller and maybe a tulip.
As I promised, after two days of having to look at disgusting Coca-Cola products, I would reward you with fuzzy cuteness. If I am nothing, I am a man of my word! Fuzzy Cuteness A week or so back, I was in the backyard with my legendary hunting pooch Naima.… Read More »Fuzzy Cuteness
A couple Saturdays back I traveled to America’s crossroads: Colo, Iowa to take place in a turtle race that I have dubbed The Colo Derby. My noble steed Titian dominated the competition, but on that day, it would NOT only be the turtles that smelled fishy. If you get what… Read More »The Colo Derby
This collection of images was stored in the folder 04-04-07. Dragonfly! Next week’s folder contains many photos of the Iowa State Spring Game from 2007. Yes. The first Spring Game of The Chiz.

Recently I picked, trained, and raced a turtle in the Colo Derby. We were quite victorious, as I’m sure time and history will record. Below is a photo of my loyal steed. Some of the other combatants from that day will claim that my turtle did not win. They will… Read More »Titian
This week ended up being something of a rebound week. All the negative emotions that people felt towards EMOTIONS was left behind and they expressed positive emotions towards PERSPECTIVE. Particularly exciting this week is we have a submission from first time contributor Stephanie Kim. Stephanie lives the farthest east and… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 38 – PERSPECTIVE
I haven’t posted a picture of an animal (besides Naima) for a bit. No worries though. This animal posting will not make any references to the current inane social media debate. I present a ground squirrel… I found this guy scurrying around the Memorial Union. The only one that I… Read More »No Gorilla, Lucky 3 Year-Olds, or Inept Parents
EMOTIONS was a profoundly unpopular theme. I’m sure destined to hit the cutting room floor if this challenge extends into a second year. Maybe it was the holiday weekend. Maybe people were like feelings? Actually feeling something? No thanks! Back to my mass consumerism, thank you very much*. Either way,… Read More »WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE – WEEK 37 – EMOTIONS
