I spent the afternoon with my niece, who just graduated from Iowa State University. She wanted photos taken in her cap and gown.

After an hour of taking photos around the campus, we had lunch at Cornbred in Ames, IA.

Congratulations!

A picture of me and my Uncle Keith. He's the last living sibling in Dad's family.

I remember he and my Dad having a great relationship. They talked on the phone lots, and my Dad always called him by his childhood nickname.

I purposely use his nickname when I talk to him on the phone. He loves it!

This is a photo of me and my wife taken on my 1954 Rolleiflex camera, using Kodak Tri-X 400 B&W film that I processed and scanned at home.

A short video of Archie and Frannie wrestling on the floor.

They had so much fun together on the two days that Archie visited us!

I love Girl Scout Cookies season!!

The Corgis are exhausted and resting for another round.

Frannie found a spot on the floor, and visiting Corgi, Mabel, found the overstuffed chair.

It's a Corgi Party at the Taylor house! We are pet sitting for friends, so Archie, Mabel, and Frannie are running hot laps around the house.

After our Mini Fox Terrier, Zoey, does her business, she kicks her back legs like a lot of dogs do. However, she kicks then holds her leg out just a bit too long. Like a yoga pose.

This has earned her the nickname, Tiny Dancer.

Here's a video of Frannie the Corgi puppy (maybe four months old here) accidentally snapping the leg off my camera tripod, and making my Canon 5D mark IV DSLR and 70-200mm lens crash to the ground.

Oops, sorry Daddy!

Frannie the Corgi fell asleep with the deer antler in her mouth. To be fair, we did three long walks today since the temperatures were so pleasant.
