Today is St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t celebrate, so no greetings to those of you that do. Stupid greeting card holiday that has become overcommercialized to make people feel bad that aren’t Irish. Bah O’humbug to you I say. You might be wondering why this post published at 8 AM… Read More »Taco ‘Bout It: Boone Food Truck Field Work

Been a minute see I cleared out the backlog. All of these images are from June of last year. They just never quite found their way into a post. Some are from the first use of the pizza oven. Some are of a sunset. Some are from a quick trip… Read More »One More Girl Who Brings Out the Better in You
On my third trip to the Iowa State Fair I started the day with Monica and Graham. Then at some point they disappeared and I finished the day with Sabas, Elainie, and Tiffany. Here is the first collection of images from the day: Hard to imagine a better kind of… Read More »Iowa State Fair – Day 3 – Alpha
Time to share the rest of the images I took while walking around Slater during RAGBRAI. Slater really did an amazing job of hosting the tens of thousands of cyclists that came through their town. Next up will be the beginning of the collection of images I took when RAGBRAI… Read More »RAGBRAI – SLATER – II

Time for the final collection of images from my 2nd of four trips to the Iowa State Fair. I left earlier from the Iowa State Fair than I usually do. Usually after the barbecue competition I hang around the Fair for several hours. But this time I packed up and… Read More »Iowa State Fair – Day 2 – Gamma
The second day I followed RAGBRAI, I hit up two towns. Slater and then Madrid. I mentioned I wasn’t that impressed with the setup in Ames. It really just felt like every other town festival in Ames. On the opposite end of that spectrum, I was really impressed with both… Read More »RAGBRAI – Slater – I
Time to share a collection of images I took for the THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme ORANGE. They are pretty much all from the same photo session where I cut an orange in half and then slapped some clock hands on it. I really went in on that one idea.… Read More »You’ve Moved On, Found Someone New
On Super Bowl Sunday I got invited to 2 Super Bowl parties. Which is strange, cause it isn’t all that common for me to get invited to adult parties. I’m big time on the toddler party circuit, but other than that, my party dance card is pretty much empty. So… Read More »Super Bowl Spreads
ORANGE! The favorite color of some. Some even say it is the new black. Some say that whomever said it was the new pink was seriously deranged. But was all these opinions on ORANGE enough to make it a popular theme? You will have to keep scrolling to find out:… Read More »WPC – WEEK 440 – ORANGE
Not gonna lie. Going to state it right out in the open. This post isn’t for everybody. I was already told once that I overshared about this process, but it was a food adventure of sorts and the information I’m going to share fits into my future food adventures. I… Read More »Colon Scopin’
Today is a rare double holiday. It is both Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day. As always, if you are not out romancing it up tonight, I invite you to come to the Boone First United Methodist Church for our Ash Wednesday service. Full disclosure, I won’t be there. I am… Read More »RAGBRAI – LUTHER
I took a few pictures for the THE WEEKLY CHALLENGE theme CIRCLE a week or so back. Thought I would share with you all the ones that were good enough to make the cut. Most of these were taken in McHose Park, but a few were taken in other locations.… Read More »We Broke Up a Month Ago
Last Sunday I reported that I was out of food adventures to… uhh… report? Then on Saturday one just kind of fell into my lap*. A tenderloin food truck came to Boone. I’m not hitting the tenderloins hard, as they do fly in the face of my eating healthy journey,… Read More »Tenderloining: Boone Food Truck Field Work
Today seems like a good day to share the rest of the pictures from my day at the Iowa State Fair with Jen, Evie, and Layla. We saw some big chunks of the Fair and ate some great food and made some great art! Here are some of my favorites:… Read More »Iowa State Fair – Day 1 – Beta
RAGBRAI came through Greene County and Boone County and Story County last year. I’m not much of a cyclist (maybe that will change this year, but probably not) but I do enjoy a good photography opportunity and anything that resembles a party. On July 25, the cyclists left Carroll and… Read More »RAGBRAI – Jefferson
I took a few pictures for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme RULE OF THIRDS. Mostly around Memorial Park, but a couple at Franklin and a couple in downtown Boone. Here are some that I liked, but not enough to submit for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE: We did so well with… Read More »For You
When Jesse and I went down to Memphis to watch the embarrassing debacle that was the Liberty Bowl we made sure to eat a bunch of delicious food. Fortunately the Pastor at my church lived in Memphis for several years and he gave us several solid recommendations on places to… Read More »Liberty Bowl Road Trip Grub
I really only did one setup when I took my BREAKFAST image for Week 436 of THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE so the alternate images aren’t that diverse and are few, to say the least. But I’m gonna share them anyways: The day I took these picture was one of those… Read More »But I Don’t Think Anything Could Ever Be Enough
