The rest...

Ok, So here is the scoop on these crazy storms! Amanda went to Iowa last week for her book conference and stayed with her family. I fixed tractors, helped here dad with his dragster and ate pizza from Casey's. (Yes the gas station place) I original set out with the idea of getting some star track shots, since Amanda's family lives on a farm I wouldn't have to compete with town lights. My plans were quickly changed with the weather turned grey.(which is ok really) We had storms EVERY day we were there; One day we actually had 3 blow through. The first one started early, 6 am, then clear skies, the next around 4, then clear skies and finally around 9:30. They were not small either, I was able to experience thunder heads and 50 mph wind appear from no place! They jumped up like a storm will on a beautiful day in the middle of a hike in colorado, only, no trees or caves to hide in. Just the nearest farm house, barn or cow.
I really enjoy the beautiful land Amanda's family lives on, the place is absolutely beautiful; Rolling hills covered in corn or soy beans, red bars and cows grazing. Standing there smelling the air and feeling the breeze can cary you away to a peaceful land indeed.
WE had a fantastic trip!
Then I broke my room mirror. I mean, the mirror wasn't mounted so really, I was asking for destruction. I bumped the glass with my elbow and spun around quickly to try and arrest the fall but I actually ended up hitting the mirror from the back and helped its trip to my floor. Boom! Then creative opportunity....

A sneak peek...

Here is a photo from a wild and crazy storm that blew through when Amanda and I were in Iowa this past week.
I'm in the process of changing Internet providers so this is just a quick update via phone. By Wednesday we should be up and running again! Then you can get the whole story....

Don't want to talk about it...

1. Don't want to talk about goals list this time! haha!
No, no, not really that bad. I have been making progress on many fronts, just not that goal list front! Oh well, such is life. Progress is good.

Also, here are a few shots I just updated in my flickr account. They are from a trip I took to Iowa in December. I have never been more cold in my life. temperature, -15 then add wind chill. Had an amazing time though!
