Here is what remains of the random images that fell through the cracks in the last few months:
Not sure what next week’s randomness will involve, but we’ll get there together.
Since most of the random pictures I’ve taken are of the “can’t-quite-publish-yet” variety, I thought I would publish some of my favorite Instagram pictures of the last few months.
Since I got a new phone and have been able to get back on Instagram.
Of course, if you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen all of these pictures before.
If you follow me on Twitter, you’ve seen most of these pictures before.
If we are friends on Facebook, you’ve seen a few of these pictures before.

Instagram may have replaced Twitter as my favorite social media outlet. Not as useful as Twitter, but probably more fun. Plus I may have an addiction to the Photo Map feature. Even though what that feature tells me is that I need to road trip in the worst possible way.
I only made it to the Iowa State Fair once this year. I went with Nader on the last day of the fair to pick up my entries for the Photography Salon.
I’ll try to do better next year.
Sara has already agreed that my birthday cake will look like this next year.
Not 100% sure what next week’s Random Wednesday will be. Probably some ISU football pictures.
A few weeks back I spent a night on Lake Augustin trying to catch some fish with Micky.
This was the first time I’ve been fishing in over 20 years. Last time I went fishing was with my grandpa. I got bored and wandered off. He wasn’t too happy.
Here are some pictures:

The rumors that we fished from the dock because I sank the boat are only partially true.
If you enjoyed these images, you should check out Micky’s Outdoorsman website:
I’m already excited for Micky and I’s next fishing adventure.
Sometimes in this project I think I got the shot that I wanted, only to find out later that I didn’t. Monday’s picture would be an excellent example. I did get a picture of Naima looking at the camera, only to discover that it was out of focus when I uploaded it much later.
I wonder what amazing places I’ll go this week… besides Minnesota.
After months of hype, Naima and I finally were able to make our 1st trip to the Ames Dog Park recently.
Unfortunately, despite having a very good park system, Boone does not have a dog park. This is a hint for any would-be future Boone mayoral candidates out there. If you want my support you know my 2 conditions.
Number 1 involves the Pufferbilly Parade and a pink dress. You know what I’m talking about.
Number 2 involves bringing a dog park to Boone.
The trip from Ames to Boone had its moments as Naima is convinced that she is a lap dog, but once we got there I was very pleased with how everything went. I was hoping there weren’t many other dogs there for our first trip and there weren’t.
In the big-dog-dog-park there were really only two dogs. A German Shepard that just kept walking the trail over and over again. Then a big black dog that wasn’t overly interested in playing.
So Naima mostly kept to herself as she walked the perimeter of the park smelling everything out.
Here are a few pictures of the trip and from before the trip:
The only thing I think Naima didn’t enjoy was being separated from the small dogs. There were quite a few more small dogs at the park that she was sad that she couldn’t get to play with. She is accustomed to playing with small dogs as her top playmate is Carla’s dog Chloe who tips the scale at 10 pounds.
It was certainly worth the drive and I hope Naima thought it was worth her shoulder surgery and weeks of puppy bedrest!
Next week’s Random Wednesday will feature pictures of Evie!
