70 MPH
If you want to see beautiful, breathtaking photos, this album is not for you. I wanted to see what sort of pictures I could get on the ride to KC (...and I would like to point out that I-35 through Iowa is not the most scenic drive known to mankind).

Oatmeal
Non-morning people should not try new morning routines. I learned this the hard way. For some reason, I decided to eat breakfast first; for some dumber reason, I decided to have oatmeal. Cinnamon & brown sugar oatmeal.
Somewhere between the microwave and the counter, something went very wrong. Had I been fully awake, I could tell you what that was. Given that I wasn't even coherent enough to process what just happened, I struggled with deciding whether to clean it up or walk away and hope for a miracle.
I decided to take pictures.
Consider yourself warned. Oatmeal never looks attractive. It definitely is not pretty on my kitchen floor.

Fort Snelling on Memorial Day
My dad and I went to Fort Snelling National Cemetery this morning. Everyone should go there at least once.

FBC
I spend many much hours in this building. Hopefully, I'll get some better pictures later when the trees have more greenery on them.

Why Not to Steal from a Photographer
My dad and I went out photographing yesterday. Our last stop was the Quaking Bog (pictures to follow another day). After an hour in the bog, we returned to the car and discovered someone else had visited it. While waiting for the police to arrive, we took pictures. Imagine that...
What they did:
Passenger window was nicely shattered.
What they got:
My 1 1/2 year old phone.
Phone charger (they were kind enough to put the cap back on the adaptor outlet after unplugging the charger.)
Camera case containing: telephoto lens, wide angle lens, a flash, a filter set, a magnifier lens set. The magnifier set was prehistoric. The other items, including the case were cheap, generic items...nice to have, but certainly not cost-effective for the thief.
What they missed:
My purse was in the back seat - semi-hidden but still visible from outside.
In the console inches from where my phone sat, there lived a checkbook, work badge, and a stash of credit cards and gift cards.
They took the most expensive filter OUT of the camera case. Thanks guys!
The trunk had plenty of power tools worth way more than the items stolen.
And a few more glass pictures...because I thought they looked cool.

My K-5 Bud's Shower
Saturday was Bridal Shower day for my wonderful friend, Jess. Below are some non-people pictures from the event (remember...I don't shoot people).

St. Paul Cathedral
The Cathedral. Saint Paul. With Deb. Good Friday.
Night shots. Cold times. Almost lost fingers.

Dragon Tree
I bought a weird little tree at IKEA (...isn't that what everyone buys there?). And I'm not sure what else to do with a tree but take pictures of it.

We'll see how long it takes me to kill it. Good thing it was cheap.
