Plains of Grain, and Walking Dinosaurs;)~

Yep, I said it correctly, walking dinosaurs...just like walking the pet dog, well almost.  These large scrap metal sculptures are set up in various locations along the highways of Iowa, and I thought this was too cute, not to share.  The fields of grain, from corn, to soybeans, Indian corn, and sunflowers, and more dotted the land in Iowa, as we headed west toward South Dakota for our next stop.  We had reached another stopping point, when I spotted one of my most favored birds, the Barn Swallows.  The young one was just too curious and I was just too awestruck and had to get in a few nice captures, before leaving to carry on with our long distance course~
