Nature and Structures

Okay this may not qualify as a structure but with the way
it is sitting on static display, it could be. This was in Moscow, IA.

Another faded barn in the community of Moscow, IA(Muscatine County).

The Swans enjoying the nice hot weather at New Covenant Bible Church.

Goldenrods up on the hillside at New Covenant Bible Church.


An Alligator head to ward off the Geese-at New Covenant Bible Church.
So far, it has done its job!!!

The pair of Swans at New Covenant Bible Church.

A decoy fox also to help with keeping the Geese away at New Covenant Bible Church.

Don't have a clue to what this is, but I love the colors.

On the way home through Robins, met this Vulture on the road. He was enjoying some "roadkill". His partner flew away when I arrived.
