This sign is right to the point! I suppose that this particular ad needed a nice round shape! Located in Downtown La Porte City, Iowa.

Reminiscent of the numerous creeks (and cricks) that criss-cross the state - but all leading to the Mighty Mississippi in the end. 

Perhaps reminding you of a childhood spent romping in the creek down the road or, if you were lucky enough, to plop yourself in a tractor innertube and float down the creek with friends!

Sams Cemetery by keeva999 on Flickr.

Des Moines, IA

Via Flickr:
Found this little cemetery on top of a hill amid the cornfields northeast of Des Moines. There was only a track through the fields to get to it, and it required 4-wheel drive. Lots of people named “Sams” are buried there, including many babies and children. The gravestones are so old that many are barely legible. It’s a beautiful little spot, though—I would not mind being buried there! Very peaceful and fun to explore.
The bird is real.
