I have lived in Iowa most of my life and I have found a lot to love. Please feel free to contact me about Iowa and I will try my best to answer your questions. I will try to add to this page as I have time, so be sure to check back.
I snapped this photo while flying over central Iowa in a friend's little (4-seater) airplane. This flight is one of my favorite memories of Iowa. From the air, I could see the rolling hills and meandering rivers of my home state. It has a subtle beauty and a pastoral character.

I am adding to this page as I have time and ideas, so be sure to check back. I always take a camera on vacation, but I forget to carry one around home, so some photos are mine and some are borrowed from the websites when indicated. Thanks for visiting!
