Alma Mater

I'm such a nerd. I love back to school time. I enjoy the fresh isles at the stores in red, blue and yellow. I love the wide array of pens, notebooks and organizational systems. Nothing like starting with a clean dry-erase board!

I've been meaning to take some photographs at my alma mater. I wanted to get up there before classes start and the throngs of new students show up. So I decided today was the day! I took two (or three) hours and wandered around the ISU campus. It was big fun for me.

Beardshear Hall.

The arches at the old dorms... can't think of their names right now.

The Camponile of course.

Curtiss Hall.

The new Gerdin Business building.

The Memorial Union.

Oak Elm dorm.

Sir Lancelot and Elaine.

And last but not least - my home away from home freshman year. Wilson Hall.

For more ISU photos find me on Facebook!

Thunderstorms

Nothing says summer like a good ole Iowa thunderstorm. Last week these really incredible clouds floated by without a single drop of rain. Very odd. I spotted this in my rear-view mirror while driving home.

This happens to me a lot. A photo pops into my head randomly while I'm at the grocery store or walking down the sidewalk. Rarely am I able to do anything about it. Correction: I'm usually fully able, I'm just in too much of a hurry to stop for a few minutes. Lesson learned... it's sooo worth it!

I promise myself not to let any more of these life imposed photo ops pass me by! Happy Wednesday.

Fire Department Fundraiser

The Fire Department had an open house and bbq fundraiser over the weekend. They asked me to take a few pictures for them. As if I wasn't planning on it already.
Thanks to the generosity of the local community the night was a success. All of the money raised will go toward building a new fire station. It's a lofty goal, one that may take a couple years, but one that is long over due.
Here is just a handful of photos from Saturday.
